Nanoreactor Model Reveals Complex Chemical Reactions of Urey-Miller Experiment

Chemists from Stanford University have developed a computer model that could provide details on the chemical reactions taking place during the Urey-Miller experiment besides determining the possible products of the experiments. The model has been termed as the nanoreactor and enables scientists to determine mechanisms or reactions revealing the possibilities of new drug formation or improving the battery or fuel combustion efficiency.

Researchers Chemically Disguise RNAi Drugs to Enter Cells

Small pieces of synthetic RNA trigger a RNA interference (RNAi) response that holds great therapeutic potential to treat a number of diseases, especially cancer and pandemic viruses. The problem is delivery -- it is extremely difficult to get RNAi drugs inside the cells in which they are needed. To overcome this hurdle, researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have developed a way to chemically disguise RNAi drugs so that they are able to enter cells. Once inside, cellular machinery converts these disguised drug precursors -- called siRNNs -- into active RNAi drugs. The technique will publish Nov. 17 in Nature Biotechnology.
