NIH awards Argonne $800,000 to develop tool to measure distances within proteinsPrecise molecular ruler could play role in development of new drugsARGONNE, Ill. (Sept. 3, 2008) — Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have won an $800,000 EUREKA award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop MADMAX, a precise molecular ruler for measuring distances within a protein. MADMAX, which stands for the Multi-wavelength Anomalous Diffraction using Medium Angle X-ray solution scattering, would not only dramatically reduce the time n... <共4838字> |
