Analysis of interactions between molecules is of fundamental importance in life science research. In this study, we applied weak affinity chromatography, based on high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, as a powerful tool for direct analysis of the components of a chemical reaction mixture for their binding to a target protein. As a demonstration of the potential of this method, we analyzed the binding of the compounds of the reaction mixture to the chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). It was possible to analyze quantitatively the binding of the components of the mixture to the target independently from each other without any preceding process such as purification. This feature has wide implications in biological sciences as crude mixtures, either natural or synthetic, can be analyzed directly for their possible binding to a target. This method could lead to savings in costs and labor through shortening chemical research project development time.

The article is dedicated to the blessed memory of Tatyana Grigorievna Anishchenko, Doctor of Biological Sciences, professor, who used to hold the position of head of the Department of Human and Animal Physiology of the Biological Faculty of the Saratov State University from 1995 to 2015. This is a look back at the memories of some of her students and a message for new generations about great prospects in obtaining a golden ticket to life and the wonderful world of science. Tatiana Grigorievna’s students are a great example of success, which lies in the knowledge, first of all, of oneself, and through these lessons, a successful search for new opportunities and goals in life. Science is the pilotage guiding light of intuition at the intersection of art and logic, a compromise of flights of fantasy and clear facts. These unique instruments are based on the best traditions of the school of human and animal physiology.

AbstractLong term spaceflight is associated with the loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. The Molecular Muscle Experiment (MME) seeks to identify the causes of muscle decline in space and test potential therapies to attenuate this in the microscopic worm, Caenorhabditis elegans. This is the first UK-led experiment in the almost two-decade history of the International Space Station. We therefore intend to complete significant and widespread educational outreach activities to promote interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and to increase engagement with our space life science experiment. This paper describes three education outreach activities relating to MME that are suitable for use in the classroom: (i) observing normal and mutant worms; (ii) observing the effect of unloading (simulation of microgravity); and (iii) handling spaceflight hardware. Activity packs are provided at a starter and advanced level to support these activities. This paper also provides three posters that may be used as learning resources for educators. These posters provide information on: (i) why worms are used for research; (ii) spaceflight human physiology; and (iii) the specifics of the MME. Details of further planned engagement activities are outlined to increase the awareness of the MME.

An attempt has been made to quantify the number of people graduating annually over the past decade from Australian tertiary institutions, at professional level, in the life sciences. During this period there has been a great increase in the number of students taking biology in senior secondary school studies, whilst total tertiary undergraduate enrolments have more than doubled. The number of physical science graduates each year during the period has remained static. The data show that in agriculture the growth corresponds to the general increase in tertiary studies. In the biological sciences there has been a big increase in absolute numbers but this also can be largely accounted for by the total enrolment growth. On the other hand, in the therapies there has been a virtual three-fold increase over the decade, in an almost exclusively female preserve. The total number of life science graduates throughout Australia has risen from 1700 in 1968 to over 3200 in 1977.
