Prokaryotic transport protein transports both left-handed and right-handed aspartate efficiently

Many biomolecules come in two versions that are each other's mirror image, like a left and a right hand. Cells generally use the left-hand version of amino acids to produce proteins, and uptake mechanisms were thought to share this preference.

First extensive analysis of proteins in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia

The most common form of childhood cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden, in cooperation with Karolinska Institutet, SciLifeLab and the University of Cambridge, have now carried out the most extensive analysis to date of ALL at the protein level, by studying the activity in over 8 000 genes and proteins.
