A pair of Rutgers–Camden researchers is taking an innovative approach to measuring how quickly cells react with chemicals. The new process could be a valuable resource in metabolic engineering and biochemical production. The key lies within a cell’s genes. “Genes produce the proteins that make chemical reactions happen. They tell you a lot about what’s… continue reading

The GABAa receptor is a neuronal ion channel that plays a dominant role in sleep and relaxation processes, by inhibiting electrical signals in the central nervous system. One subunit of the pentameric receptor is shown in green and purple, illustrating potential binding pockets for modulating molecules such as neurosteroids and thyroid hormone (orange); these molecules… continue reading
