Scientists use high pressure NMR spectroscopy to study structure of dynamic proteins

A pressure of 3,000 bar is applied to the cold shock protein B of Bacillus subtilis in a small tube in the NMR spectroscopy laboratory at the University of Konstanz. This is roughly three times the water pressure at the deepest point of the ocean. The pressure is so intense that the highly dynamic protein shows structural features that would not be sufficiently visible under normal pressure.

Early detection of infectious diseases can be key to successful treatment, but we often don't know we are infected until symptoms appear. What if our bodies could detect the presence of an infectious pathogen before the onset of disease?
