Sunscreen patches for wounded skin | Chemistry World

  • Sunscreen patches for wounded skin | Chemistry World - Scientists in France have made a water-resistant latex film loaded with a UVB filter that could be applied as a thick, uniform layer of sunscreen to wounded skin, which is more susceptible to UV damage.(10.1039/c2py20969a)

    Protein production: going viral – Architecture of essential human transcription factor revealed

    Protein production: going viral - Architecture of essential human transcription factor revealed - A research team of scientists from EMBL Grenoble and the IGBMC in Strasbourg, France, have, for the first time, described in molecular detail the architecture of the central scaffold of TFIID: the human protein complex essential for transcription from DNA to mRNA. The study, published today in Nature, opens new perspectives in the study of transcription and of the structure and mechanism of other large multi-protein assemblies involved in gene regulation.(10.1038/nature11791)

    New shape for cross-linked polymers

    New shape for cross-linked polymers - Researchers in the US and France believe they have found a new way to impart malleability into cross-linked polymers containing multiple double bonds. The finding could make covalently cross-linked polymers more easily processable, versatile and recyclable. Reference: Y-X Lu et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2012, DOI: 10.1021/ja303356z
