(CHEMISTRY)(Brief article) –>CPYRIGHT 2007 Science Service Inc. With a tweak to their genetic codes bacteria have been coaxed to follow a chemical trail of a researcher’s choosing. Chemotactic bacteria such as Escherichia coli recognize and move toward certain chemicals. The chemicals bind to proteins on the microbe’s surface inducing an internal mechanism to drive the microbe’s.

“The boards rarely include the same technique two years’ running inpracticals so for the weaker students it can be very helpful” he said. “I’d have thought it was an educated guess by our teaching staff who saidsomething like ‘Last year you had X and Y questions so this year you’relikely to have Z’. ”Biology chemistry and physics teachers are all given practical papers weeksahead of the examinations to allow them to prepare. Sometimes they need tobuy new equipment and often must carry out a test themselves to make sure itis feasible. But according to Louise Kenway a biology teacher and deputy head of BrightonCollege while it is possible for pupils to guess what might come up suchdeliberate hints are more likely due to teachers carefully guiding them intheir work. “Pupils could infer the types of experiment that might come up but to knowthat they had hydrogen acceptors in the exam is very specific. We’re notoften so precise in photosynthesis so they must have been told that” shesaid.

Credit: University of ChicagoStanley L. Miller an emeritus professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California San Diego whose famous laboratory experiments in 1952 demonstrated how the simple organic compounds considered necessary for the origin of life could have been synthesized on the primitive Earth has died. Miller who had suffered a series of strokes since 1999 and was living in a nursing home in National City south of San Diego died at Paradise Hospital in National City. ne of the founding chemists of UCSD Miller was a graduate student at the University of Chicago in the 1950s working under the late Harold Urey a Nobel laureate who later moved to La Jolla and founded UCSD’s chemistry department. n May 15 1953 Miller published a paper in the journal Science detailing a novel experiment that produced the building blocks of life from nothing more than hydrogen water methane and ammonia… Bada a professor of marine chemistry at UCSD’s Scripps Institution of ceanography who was one of Miller’s graduate students at UCSD and a leading expert on the chemical origin of life. “By the time the results were corroborated by an independent group three years later the metaphor of the ‘prebiotic soup’ had found its way into comic strips cartoons movies and novels. “Miller the first assistant professor of chemistry recruited to work at UCSD continued his research into the chemical origins of life for over four decades in La Jolla and helped to establish the university’s strong tradition of interdisciplinary research. “Like Roger Revelle who built UCSD from the ‘top down’ with the best and the brightest Miller and Urey were bold thinkers with a broad knowledge of science and gifted scientific intuitions who opened new disciplines in their quest to understand our origins” said Mark Thiemens dean of the Division of Physical Sciences at UCSD. “Stanley Miller was the father of origin of life chemistry” said Bada. “And he was a leader in that field for many decades remaining active even after his first stroke in November 1999. It was the Miller experiment that almost overnight transformed the study of the origin of life into a respectable field of inquiry.

Working with Professor Royce Murray he earned a Ph. in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill NC) in 1997. His research focuses on nanostructured materials particularly hybrid nanoarchitectures for applications in sensing separations and electrochemical energy storage and conversion.

ver the next half-century many attempts were made – notably by the great American chemist Linus Pauling but they all resulted in failure. Chemists were so convinced of the bonding incapacity of xenon and its fellow elements from the rightmost (18th) column of the periodic table that wall-charts in chemistry lecture rooms labeled them the “INERT GASES”. ne such chart adds to the period d?r of the physical chemistry lab at my university. It was made in 1968 when the building was new. While many students have entered that lab and come out wiser about our molecular world the wall-chart still displays its ignorance in bold capitals. You see in 1962 a British chemist named Neil Bartlett who is currently an emeritus professor of chemistry at Berkeley but was a young faculty member at the University of British Columbia at the time demonstrated that xenon easily contributed one of its electrons to platinum hexafluoride forming a stable compound. News of this discovery crossed the 49th parallel and chemists at Argonne National Laboratory quickly demonstrated that xenon formed a family of compounds with the elements fluorine and oxygen.
