The light of fireflies for medical diagnostics – NCCR in Chemical Biology

https://nccr-chembio.ch/news-events/news-article/article/the-light-of-fireflies-for-medical-diagnostics

The light of fireflies for medical diagnostics. The light of fireflies for medical diagnostics. NCCR scientists at EPFL have exploited the light of fireflies in a new method that detects biological molecules without the need for complex devices and high costs. Is published today in Nature Communications. The lab of Kai Johnsson. The tag acts as a switch: it blocks luciferase, preventing it from producing light. When the tag detects its target protein, it attaches to that instead, removing the block f...

How a protein regulates gene expression – NCCR in Chemical Biology

https://nccr-chembio.ch/news-events/news-article/article/faster-not-stronger-how-a-protein-regulates-gene-expression

How a protein regulates gene expression. How a protein regulates gene expression. By measuring the motion of single molecules, Prof. Beat Fierz’s group at NCCR EPFL have discovered how specialized proteins control gene expression by binding and compacting discrete parts of DNA inside the cell. The findings have significant implications for genetics and cancer research. Faster, not stronger. Dissociates from chromatin relatively easily, something that is common across proteins that interact with DNA. ...
