| What is Recombumin?
A well-described carrier protein which is present in high concentrations (40-50 g/L) in plasma, Albumin has a circulatory half-life of roughly 19 days. It has a number of functions, including protein stabilization, the ability to bind both metal ions and to surfaces, fatty acid transportation to tissues, and an anti-oxidative effect in plasma.

| | Scientists at the Institute of Genome Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have developed a novel way with genome sequences to study and better understand transmission, treat and ultimately eradicate Plasmodium vivax, the most widespread form of malaria. P. vivax is a single-celled transmitted by mosquitoes. | | | | Approximately one per cent of each organism's genome encodes helicases. Helicases are mostly known as motor enzymes that can unwrap double-stranded DNA by use of energy. | | | | Knowledge of a newly discovered genetic disorder, which means that a person cannot produce the protein TXNIP (thioredoxin interacting protein) in their cells, can open for the development of new diabetes drugs. | | | | Employing advanced genetic-tracing techniques and sharing the data produced in real time could limit the spread of bacteria -- Bacillus cereus -- which cause foodborne illness, according to researchers who implemented whole-genome sequencing of a pathogen-outbreak investigation. | |
