Scientists Reveal Common Activation Mechanism of Class B GPCR[Jun 27, 2017]
Scientists from Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica (SIMM) of Chinese Academy of Sciences made progress in discovering a common mechanism for activation of class B GPCRs through studying ligand-independent activation of GPCR. This study was published in Journal of Biological Chemistry and was chosen as the cover issue.
DICP Scientists Reveal Fundamental Mechanism of DMTO Process[Jun 21, 2017]
The research team led by Prof. LIU Zhongmin and Prof. WEI Yingxu in Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) reveals the fundamental mechanism of Dalian methanol to olefins (DMTO) process.
A New Species of Small Mammal Found in Yunnan[Jun 26, 2017]
Mammalogists from the Kunming Institute of Zoology of Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered a new shrew species, and revalidated the species status of another one in Yunnan, China. The results illustrated that Chodsigoa parca from eastern and western banks of the Mekong River were genetically and morphologically distinct from each other, which supported the existence of a new species.
Novel Integrated Configuration Design for Flexible and Ultrafast Rechargeable Dual-ion Battery[Jun 26, 2017]
