New COVID-19 test measures virus proteins
The Ring
Less than 0.1 mL of blood is all that UVic researchers need, in an exciting commercial-academic partnership that has developed a “gold standard” test for COVID-19 using cutting-edge technology.
3-D models could result in custom drugs
Media release
Unraveling the mysteries of proteins whose changed structures cause conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease is key to the development of new drug treatments for difficult neurological disorders, says University of Victoria biochemist Christoph Borchers.
Listening to the “voice” of proteins
The Ring
When UVic engineering professor Dr. Reuven Gordon describes the biomedical engineering technique of listening to and recording the “voice” of proteins, it sounds a lot like a modern take on Horton Hears a Who, Dr. Seuss’s children’s story of an elephant who hears a voice calling from a microscopic dust speck. “Everything small has resonances. Everything has a voice,” Gordon says of the protein molecules measuring a single nanometer in size—the building blocks of life that are a million times smaller than an ant and emit sound at a frequency a million times higher than the human ear can hear.
Study Of Proteins Shakes Up Forestry, Medicine
