Animations of common chemical reactions. Warning - let your browser load the Java applet - it's probably not crashed... - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

"The FDA has approved Eisai's Halaven (eribulin) for late-stage breast cancer. As far as I can tell, this is now the most synthetically complex non-peptide drug ever marketed. Some news stories on it are saying that it's from a marine sponge, but that was just the beginning. This structure has to be made from the ground up; there's no way you're going to get enough material from marine sponges to market a drug." - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

"The team produced the spheres from N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc)-protected diphenylalanine, which in unprotected form is the core of the beta-amyloid protein that accumulates to produce plaques in the brain in Alzheimer's disease ... 1um diameter particles where the dipeptide shell was 0.4um thick had a 275GPa Young's modulus, compared to 130GPa for Kevlar and around 200GPa for steel." - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Interesting choice of music and amusing slow-mo replay of C-terminus folding. Interesting also that Stanford is able to copyright this, given it was a distributed computing effort. Perhaps the copyright just applies to the movie production. - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet
