We are (bio)chemists and NMR spectroscopists.
We are fond of bioinorganic chemistry!
We deal with metal ions, drugs and nanoparticles in biological systems.
The dark side of ubiquitin.
A single mutation uncovers an adhesin-like motif, turning a soluble, globular protein essential for cellular health into a cytotoxic pore-forming amyloid upon contact with anionic membranes. @unibait@ProteinSociety#OpenAccess

Allโinterno di questa alleanza strategica, il progetto #NHYLODEA, coordinato dal collega @unibait Prof. Nicola Margiotta, con la partecipazione della ricercatrice Alessandra Barbanente, mira a sviluppare nanomateriali biomimetici per il trattamento di cancro e metastasi ossee.
Su @LaGazzettaWeb si parla di #IPCF e delle ricerche finanziate con fondi #PNRR della collega Nicoletta Depalo (sede di #bari), delle giovani ricercatrici Federica Rizzi, Rita Mastrogiacomo e del ricercatore Pierluigi Lasala (dottorandi @unibait associati al nostro Istituto)

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPeacePrize to the Japanese organisation Nihon Hidankyo. This grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, also known as Hibakusha, is receiving the peace prize for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again.

Physicist Peter Higgs has passed away at the age of 94. The Higgs particle, often called the God particle, is named after him.
Higgs was awarded the 2013 physics prize for the theory of how particles acquire mass.
