Reactive Science NewsJan 14, 2010 How enzymes don’t workThe late, great Linus Pauling, twice Nobel laureate (chemistry and peace) and advocate of mega doses of vitamin C for beating disease and extending life (he died at the ripe old age of 93) was one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century. He worked out how nature’s catalysts, proteins known as enzymes, speed up biochemical reactions. They bind to the transition states of a substrate molecule and so lower the energy of the … Dec 7, 2009 Avoiding climate clangers in CopenhagenSolid science has to underpin any environmental initiatives, both governmental and corporate, that claim to address energy, emissions, and climate change issues, RSC boss Richard Pike says, and we must teach teenagers how to spot the climate clangers now.
Three current supposedly “green” initiatives highlight the problem, Pike says. First, Brits are being encouraged to drive five miles less each week. But a back of an … Dec 4, 2009 Coprinastatin 1 (Naturalproductman’s Blog)George Pettit and co-workers at Arizona State University have recently published in the Journal of Natural Products on the isolation of coprinastatin 1 that was found from a cap fungus, Coprinus cinereus, which was growing on a small plant found in Shasta-Trinity… Reactive ReportsAfter 75 issues and ten years of the chemistry webzine, Reactive Reports, one of the first chemistry news sites to be launched way back in 1999, the site has been given a makeover. More than a makeover, a complete overhaul and replacement of old worn-out body parts. Reactive Reports is now wholly owned and produced by David Bradley Science Writer, hosted on an independent web server, with an entirely new theme, content management system (CMS) and ethos. The Reactive Reports archives remain in place of course, although the popular, older content is gradually being incorporated into the new CMS, so that it follows the new theme. This has the added advantage of enabling comments on the converted pages, something that was missing from the old theme.A new, flexible publishing schedule removes the site from the monthly news cycle and allows Reactive Reports to bring you cutting edge chemistry as soon as we hear about it. Reactive Reports was originally hosted by chemistry software company ACD/Labs and now with support from a computers, electronics and software and Westwood College, which offers you the opportunity to earn an Online Degree. |
