Protein Folding and Particle Accelerators: A New Solution
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 1 Σεπ 2016
What
can a particle accelerator teach us about biology? Dr Sylvia McLain
explains her research into one of the most fundamental questions of
life: how water is involved protein folding.

Water’s
role in sustaining life is well known. But for many years, scientists
assumed that water was something of a passive medium in which biological
processes happened. Proteins fold in precise ways again and again, and
the role of water has long been belittled. Most techniques used to study
proteins cannot take into account the presence of water.
Dr
Sylvia McLain, a University Research Lecturer within the Department of
Biochemistry at the University of Oxford, and her team are using the
ISIS Neutron Source to test the role water plays in protein folding, and
are finding that it may not be quite as passive at it seems.
