New mass spectrometry-based test recognizes coronavirus in wash arrangements of patients Kumar Jeetendra | July 16, 2020 Pharmacists in Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have succeeded in detecting small amounts of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 utilizing mass spectrometry. Because of their own investigation , they used naturopathic remedies of COVID-19 patients. The publication method might supplement conventional tests. It’s undergoing developments and could be available as standard diagnostic tool for COVID-19 in the future. …
Mass spectrometry shows potential for fast SARS-CoV-2 recognition Kumar Jeetendra | August 10, 2020 A team from SPI in Marcoule discovered by mass spectrometry, in just 3 minutes and without specific reagents, signature peptides of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in clinical samples (nasopharyngeal swabs). It hence gives a proof of concept concerning the usage of the technique as a potential option to PCR, now the reference process. Quick but nonetheless …
Researchers devise new technique to plan HIV’s sweet shield in remarkable detail Kumar Jeetendra | October 26, 2020 Scientists from Scripps Research and Los Alamos National Laboratory have devised a method for mapping in unprecedented detail the thickets of slippery sugar molecules which help protect HIV from the immune system. Mapping these shields will give researchers a more comprehensive comprehension of why dinosaurs respond to some spots on the virus but not others, …
Compounds in green and black tea relax blood vessels by activating ion channel proteins Kumar Jeetendra | March 9, 2021 A new study from the University of California, Irvine shows that chemicals in both black and green tea relax blood vessels by activating ion channel proteins in the blood vessel wall. The discovery helps explain the antihypertensive properties of tea and could lead to the design of new blood pressure-lowering medications. Released in Cellular Physiology …
Rapid, Direct Mass Spectrometry Characterisation of Difficult Samples Kumar Jeetendra | March 10, 2021 The ionRocket from BioChromato Inc. is a temperature-heating device for direct thermal desorption and pyrolysis of samples, prior to ionization and analysis by mass spectrometry. Direct Analysis in Real Time Mass Spectrometry (DART-MS) is a proven technique that enables rapid analysis of both solid and liquid samples under standard laboratory conditions without sample preparation. However, …
Study offers understanding into metabolic pathways hijacked by SARS-CoV-2 for viral replication Kumar Jeetendra | March 16, 2021 When SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19, infects a human cell, it quickly begins to replicate by seizing the cell’s existing metabolic machinery. The infected cells churn out thousands of viral genomes and proteins while halting the creation of their own sources. Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), and the Broad …
