POPSKill Cancer without side effects The first paragraph of this article was as follows, as I could not clip it without getting all the other info on the page ! ! ! Capsaicin - the compound that makes chilli peppers spicy - can kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells, with no side effects, according to a new study by researchers at Nottingham University in the UK.

POPSBuffering mitochondrial DNA variation Mismatches between NADH production and the use of ATP can stress the electron transport chain (complexes I–IV) and modulate the production of ROS. According to Moreno-Loshuertos et al., the mtDNA haplotype can also influence steady-state ROS generation in the cell. Although ROS are traditionally viewed as toxic agents contributing to cellular pathology, emerging evidence suggests that ROS are also critical in cellular homeostasis.

POPSHTML scraping becomes more widely available FeedYes is a serious attempt to solve the difficult task of grabbing content from any website and turn it into an RSS feed. Other tools of interest in the same category are RSSxl, Feed43, FeedFire, MySyndicaat, FeedTier, Grouper Evolution, the HTML-to-RSS widget from Desktop Sidebar and RSS Wizard. You can also ask Carlo Zottmann of FeedPalooza to do it for you. I highly recommend his services.

POPSNew 'arsenic-breathing' bacteria found While arsenic may be toxic because of the way it substitutes phosphorous in the process of burning energy, I don't recall boiling water being too healthy either. When life on earth was just kicking off, there was little free oxygen, and plenty of boiling water. Arsenic based photosynthesis is likely to have been working long before the green/chlorophyll based photosynthesis evolved.

POPSA new wrinkle in evolution -- Man-made proteins
Their most recent results, published in the May 23rd edition of the journal PLoS ONE, have led to some surprisingly new lessons on how to optimize proteins which have never existed in nature before, in a process they call ‘synthetic evolution.’ "The goal of our research is to understand certain fundamental questions regarding the origin and evolution of proteins," said Chaput, a researcher in the institute’s Center for BioOptical Nanotechnology and assistant professor in Arizona State University’s department of chemistry and biochemistry. "Would proteins that we evolve in the lab look like proteins we see today in nature or do they look totally different from the set of proteins nature ultimately chose" By gaining a better understanding of these questions, we hope to one day create new tailor-made catalysts that can be used as therapeutics in molecular medicine or biocatalysts in biotechnology." The building blocks of proteins are 20 different amino acids that are strung together
