متن کاملSteroid boost for sirtuin research
amino-group of lysines is an important switch in gene regulation and protein activity and has gained increasing interest in molecular biology and drug discovery in the last decade. One of the enzyme families that catalyze the cleavage of an acetyl group are the NAD+-dependent protein deacetylases, the sirtuins. The human sirtuins have seven members, Sirt1-7. Even though the biology of the sirtu...
متن کاملBoost for Europe's research plans
After years of deliberation, the European Union introduced its new instrument of science funding, the European Research Council, through a back door, by including it in the latest edition of its Framework Program, FP7 (see Curr. Biol. (2005) 15, R359). Since then, a Scientific Council has been busy laying the foundations of what is designed to become a European pendant to the US National Scienc...
