Scientists at the University of Delaware have developed a new method for producing proteins critical to research on cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other diseases. Developed by Zhihao Zhuang, UD assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry, and his research group, the chemical method yields hundredsfold more ubiquitylated proteins than current approaches. Such proteins may hold the key to revealing such mysteries as how cancer cells gain resistance to cancer drugs. The advance is reported in the April issue of Nature Chemical Biology, the leading journal in the field of chemical biology…
