- Biofuel cells without the bio cells
10-17-2006 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have observed a first: direct electricity-shuttling from a protein to a mineral. Reporting in the current advance online edition of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, they suggest that proteins -- removed from the outer membrane of a versatile, metal-altering soil bacterium -- could make miniature bioreactor cells feasible. Biologically speaking, the feat is the bacterial equivalent of removing lungs and coaxing the disembodied tissue to breathe.

- DNA repair teams' motto: 'To protect and serve'
11-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
When you dial 911 you expect rescuers to pull up at your front door, unload and get busy -- not park the truck down the street and eat donuts. It's the same for a cell -- just before it divides, it recruits protein complexes that repair breakage that may have occurred along your 46 chromosomes. Without repair, damage caused by smoking, chemical mutagens, or radiation might be passed on to the next generation.

- Special ES&T issue examines effects of emerging contaminants on people, planet
11-30-2006 · EurekAlert!
More than 40 scientific papers on an array of emerging contaminants -- including pharmaceuticals, detergent by-products and fluorochemicals -- are highlighted in the Dec. 1 issue of the American Chemical Society journal, Environmental Science & Technology. These articles examine what chemists and engineers are learning about emerging contaminants as well as what can be done to remediate those already in the environment and prevent others from getting there.
