Purdue University researchers have designed a novel approach to use deep learning to better understand how proteins interact in the body.

Noticing the protein’s brown color, Iskander Ibrahim and Sujith Puthiyaveetil (right) determined that CSK contains an iron-sulfur cluster that senses electron transport during photosynthesis. The CSK protein plays a key role in balancing light energy conversion by cyanobacteria and chloroplasts.

A Purdue University study may hold the key to accurately and consistently producing microbubbles that could be used for cleaning, as well as foams used in foods, rapid DNA and protein assessments, destroying dangerous bacteria and more.

W. Andy Tao, a Purdue University professor of biochemistry, and colleagues have developed a method to implant a chemical label that acts like a GPS tracker into live salmonella bacteria. Once inside the bacteria, the probe can be captured at any given time, showing in real time the proteins interacting with the bacteria.

A simple new method from Purdue University scientists could help cut down the amount of food waste – and provide another renewable source of clean energy.

Children with Down syndrome may be born with low muscle tone and a protruding tongue, which makes it more challenging to speak and eat. Hannah Ferrill, a Purdue University alumna in industrial design from Purdue’s College
of Liberal Arts, has developed a jaw-strengthening teether.

Companies are moving toward installing more double-sided solar panels. A new formula reveals exactly how much more electricity double-sided panels can generate compared to conventional single-sided panels, helping to better inform how the panels are designed.

Infrared cameras detect people and other objects by the heat they emit. Now, researchers have discovered the uncanny ability of a material to hide a target by masking its telltale heat properties.

Purdue University drug discovery researchers have created a new framework for mining data for training machine learning models. The framework, called Lemon, helps drug researchers better mine the Protein Data Base (PDB) – a comprehensive resource with more than 140,000 biomolecular structures and with new ones being released every week.

A wearable monitoring device to make treatments easier and more affordable for the millions of people with swallowing disorders is about to be released into the market.
