- 5EPR Spectroscopy Sheds Light On The Conformation Gap In Drug Research▼The Conformation Gap How EPR Unlocks Missing Dynamics In Pharma And Structural Biology Workflow
EPR spectroscopy is being highlighted as a way to close the 'conformation gap' in pharmaceutical and structural biology workflows. The technique can capture protein dynamics and conformational changes that methods like X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM miss, offering drug developers a fuller picture of how molecules behave in motion. Coverage discusses how integrating EPR earlier in research pipelines could improve target validation and drug design decisions.
- 6Scientists Bake Replica Herculaneum Scrolls to Improve X-Ray Reading●New from the Teahouse 🫖 Star Wars on Papyrus: Why Scientists Baked Their Own Herculaneum Scrolls to Help Read the Real O
Researchers made their own carbonized papyrus scrolls, spiked with lead-based ink, to test ways of reading the real Herculaneum scrolls damaged by Mount Vesuvius. The study found the lead-laced ink glows up to 25 times brighter under X-rays, which could help locate and decipher text on the genuine charred scrolls without unrolling them.
