Solar energy harnessed by plants and algae has great potential to be converted into biofuels for future generations.

One of the main challenges in the development of an effective anti-cancer vaccine is the generation of an adequate and directed cellular immune response.

FitDis! is designed to ease the determination of binding energy and oligomeric state of coiled coil peptides. It allows direct fitting of concentration dependent thermal peptide unfolding curves measured for instance by CD–spectroscopy.

Neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, are characterised by aggregates of protein in the brain. The connection of these aggregates to the disease itself is unclear. Martina Huber, Enrico Zurlo and colleagues published a new method to monitor the formation of these aggregates.
