Chemists develop reversible method of tagging proteins

Posted: 16 Sep 2012 01:09 PM PDT

Chemists have developed a method that for the first time provides scientists the ability to attach chemical probes onto proteins and subsequently remove them in a repeatable cycle.

Most coral reefs are at risk unless climate change is drastically limited, study shows

Posted: 16 Sep 2012 01:09 PM PDT

Coral reefs face severe challenges even if global warming is restricted to the two degrees Celsius commonly perceived as safe for many natural and human-made systems. Warmer sea surface temperatures are likely to trigger more frequent and more intense mass coral bleaching events.

How bees decide what to be: Reversible 'epigenetic' marks linked to behavior patterns

Scientists report what is believed to be the first evidence that complex, reversible behavioral patterns in bees -- and presumably other animals -- are linked to reversible chemical tags on genes.
