Almost all attempts to use the Ras protein as a point of attack for medications have so far failed. New knowledge concerning its structure is raising hopes of options in the development of medications.
Services like Google collect a lot of data about their users. Anyone can see the information that is stored about them. But that doesn’t scare users away. On the contrary.
At worst, a restricted blood supply to the retina can lead to blindness. Bochum researchers have gained new insights into the underlying mechanism.
A special feature in PDF documents makes it possible for two contractual parties to sign them digitally one after the other. However, the second party can also change the content of the contract unnoticed.
Bochum-based researchers have gained new insights into the mechanisms that control the flow of ions through channel proteins – and thus determine their efficiency.
The more natural the position of an arm prosthesis, the more precise the control – this is the result of a Bochum study on brain-computer interfaces in the therapy of severely paralysed patients.
Bochum researchers have discovered an unexpected effect. It might open up new avenues for developing therapies after brain or spinal cord damage.
Data for Germany show significantly more severe courses of the disease. This could be due to an increased frequency of risk factors.
Similar to the wild type virus, soap, heat and alcohol are also effective against the new coronavirus variants.
A German-Canadian research team is calling for a more comprehensive approach.
Researchers regard the overall distribution of receptors in the brain – the receptome – as a new approach for computer models that reproduce the function of the brain, and for diagnostics and therapy of mental disorders.
In a first, a research team has worked out how photosystem II is made up of more than 100 individual components.
High-throughput X-ray diffraction measurements generate huge amounts of data. The agent renders them usable more quickly.
The more difficult the task, the more stress occurs. Or so you might think, but it’s not quite that simple.
Optimising electrochemical processes is one of the challenges in developing technologies for renewable energies. New research findings could provide assistance here.
Actually, the researchers are not specifically interested in hydraulic fracturing. But in a sense, they are using it as a scaled-up laboratory experiment.
CO2 can be converted electrochemically into starting materials for industry. So far, however, catalysts that are stable over a long period of time have been lacking. A few tricks could solve the problem.
Wage incentive schemes increase the productivity of employees. Yet recent research shows at what point variable pay starts to have a negative impact on health.
The animals use a special luminescent organ to generate blink patterns. The blinking frequency affects the behaviour of the other fish in the school.
A team of international researchers from Osaka University in Japan and Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) solved the structure of monomeric photosystem I by cryo-electron microscopy.
