Synthesis of Methylphosphonic Acid by Marine Microbes: A Source for Methane in the Aerobic Ocean

2012-08-31

Professor of Microbiology William Metcalf is lead author on a new study of ocean methane in Science. Up to 4 percent of the methane on Earth comes from the ocean’s oxygen-rich waters, but scientists have been unable to identify the source of this potent greenhouse gas. Now researchers report that...

Extension of the Cellular Molecular Chaperone Network

2012-03-27

The eukaryotic molecular chaperone network is formed by the concerted actions of Hsp90, Hsp70 and their associated cochaperones. Typically, cochaperones had been considered regulatory factors that modulate the ATPase activities of Hsp90 and Hsp70 and also guide these chaperone to distinct...
