Sensing calcium as it flows into neurons following firing can potentially track information flow throughout the brain's circuitry. Now, an MIT team has developed a calcium contrast agent for non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging detection. At top, a schematic shows how nanoparticles coated with two proteins (red and green) form mixed aggregates in the presence of calcium. The bottom panel shows ...

MIT researchers recently found that human ubiquitin hydrolase, shown here, has the most complicated knot ever observed in a protein. The simplified diagram, inset, shows the knot in the protein, which crosses itself five times.

This scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image shows MIT's new nanoscale molecular sieve, which consists of thousands of alternating deep (300 nanometers or billionths of a meter) and shallow (55 nanometers) regions. The deep and shallow regions act together to form energy barriers that separate proteins by size. Pores of different sizes can be engineered for different filters to capture specific p...
