So here is a common problem in many laboratories. A typical freezer in a molecular biology laboratory can house a host of quintessential restriction enzymes from a number of sources. Even when you find what you are looking for then comes the hunt for different buffer charts which often culminates in a collection of buffers for double digestions.
Antibiotic Research UK (ANTRUK), a charity founded in 2014 to save modern medicine from the onslaught of superbugs, is delighted to announce that the Most Reverend & Right Honourable Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York has agreed to become the Charity’s Patron.
Superbugs are fast becoming an increasing problem in hospitals and the community as bacteria become increasingly resistant to our existing antibiotics. There is a significant risk that future generations will not enjoy the same benefits of medicine as we do today. All the medical procedures currently taken for granted, for example cancer treatment, open heart surgery, hip and knee replacement and organ transplantation will become much more perilous...
