Unwrapping DNA from nucleosomes
DNA in the cell must be stored in a compact form (or it wouldn't fit) that also allows it to be translated to RNA, and to be copied when a cell divides.
Lynden Archer receives chemical engineering award
Lynden Archer, the William C. Hooey Director and Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has received the 2014 Nanoscale Science and Engineering Forum (NSEF) Award from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AICHE).
Watching DNA unwind
Dynamic protein-nucleic acid complexes are central to molecular biology. For example, protein-RNA interactions hold the ribosome together, while protein-DNA interactions contain DNA in chromatin.
GERLS Camp-Encouraging young women in STEM
Last week, Ithaca Generator (IG) partnered with Xraise, the outreach program at the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education, to host a week-long GERLS Camp for middle school girls.
Paving the way for BioSAXS users
BioSAXS experiments require careful preparation. Many users (even though they may be experienced crystallographers) are new to the technique, and MacCHESS' Richard Gillilan and Alvin Acerbo spend a great deal of time “holding hands” of biologists using the BioSAXS facility for the first time.
Undergrads behind the shield this summer at CHESS
Not many summer students can say they have configured hutches, built beamlines, and spent all night in the lab running experiments and collecting data.
Summer down projects are in full swing here at Wilson Lab
A substantial number of summer down projects are in full swing here at Wilson lab.
Brian Crane named Howard Hughes professor
Brian Crane, professor of chemistry and chemical biology in the College of Arts and Sciences, has been named a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) professor, one of 15 leading scientist-educators to receive the honor.
