Researchers at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have solved the structure of a class of proteins known as sodium glucose co-transporters (SGLTs), which pump glucose into cells.

Researchers have been trying for years to make an artificial receptor to which glucose binds strongly and with high selectivity. Such a receptor molecule ... tour-de-force in molecular design ...

Previous studies have used small molecule samples to verify the lower detection ... nanoparticle size analyzer from Bettersize can be employed to measure glucose. With a molecular weight of just ...
