Six structures have been identified as promising leads for a vaccine to prevent methamphetamine addiction
Potential Methamphetamine Vaccine
Endocytic-Targeting, pH-Responsive Nanoparticles
Tunable, pH-responsive nanoparticles can be selectively activated in different endocytic compartments
Single Peptide-Surface Interaction
Investigations into how peptides bind to surfaces show that weak, non-covalent interactions may be the key to new biomimetic materials
Dopamine Testing on the Move
Fast-scan cyclic voltammetry with carbon-fiber microelectrodes can probe neurochemical signaling in freely moving rats
DNA Origami
Miniature architectural forms—including a round-bottomed nanoflask—have been constructed by DNA origami
Rise of the Micromachines
Self-propelled microrockets that pickup and transport pancreatic tumor cells under physiological conditions have been developed

An overview of the latest edition of Angewandte Chemie
Total Synthesis of HIV-1 Rev Protein
Protein that plays an important role in the HIV replication cycle can now be synthesized chemically
Ice Cream, Organs, and Antifreeze Proteins
Understanding how antifreeze proteins from Antarctic bacterium bind to ice crystals could improve organ transplants and ice cream
Probing Intracellular Viscosity
Measuring intracellular viscosity could explain how molecules and signals are transported in diseases such as cystic fibrosis
