Where is the proton? Yale scientists discover footprints of shared protons

This week in Science, Yale researchers present "roadmaps" showing that shared protons, a common loose link between two biological molecules, simply vibrate between the molecules as a local oscillator, rather than intimately entangling with the molecular vibrations of the attached molecules.

3. Scientists discover novel way to remove iron from ferritin
   11-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new study led by Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute senior scientist, Elizabeth Theil, PhD, is the first to suggest that a small protein or heptapeptide could be used to accelerate the removal of iron from ferritin. The results of this study may help scientists develop new medications that dramatically improve the removal of excess iron in patients diagnosed with blood diseases such as B-Thalassemia (Cooley's anemia) or sickle cell disease.

5. Proton-powered pooping
   01-09-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Muscles usually contract when a neurotransmitter molecule is released from nerve cells onto muscle cells. But University of Utah scientists discovered that bare subatomic protons can act like larger, more complex neurotransmitters, making gut muscles contract in tiny round worms so the worms can poop.
