A blog about molecular science. Tag Archives: science policy. A comparison of funding in different countries per-capita by researchers (or “Let’s all move to Luxembourg”). January 16, 2014. The state of science funding in North America is not great, and there is plenty of discussion about just what a crisis. There are government statistics for the amount of R&D funding in many countries. Statistics Canada has some information broken down by province (as of 2009). The EU has a detailed report (2008/9).

A blog about molecular science. January 5, 2014. For a first post, I thought I’d talk about a method that many working on post-translationally-modified biomolecules may have used (or may want to be familiar with if they haven’t! Most of us are familiar with the Western Blot. For that matter, what about all those other directions on the compass (North-East, North-West, etc.)? So is there an Eastern blot? How many times has the Eastern blot been named? 8220; An earlier paper. 8221; was defined. Detection o...

A blog about molecular science. Sialidase NEU4 is involved in glioblastoma stem cell survival. August 25, 2014. Our group was recently part of a study. First – what is NEU4? NEU4 is one of four different enzymes in humans known as a neuraminidases. You may know that neuraminidase. Enzymes are important in the pathology of influenza. The virus needs this enzyme to escape and reinfect host cells, and drugs like oseltamivir. Is a relatively new area. So why do we care about NEU4 specifically? At that time, ...

A blog about molecular science. Posttranslational modifications – What are these things stuck to my protein? August 27, 2014. If you took introductory biochemistry, you are probably familiar with the most common biopolymers: nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), proteins, and carbohydrates. The roles of the first two polymers are probably best encapsulated in what is known as the central dogma of molecular biology. Coined by Prof. Crick). Essentially, DNA stores the sequential coding information, it is. Enzymes a...
