The Crab Nebula resulted from the explosion of a supernova in 1054, one many times brighter than those that a group of Illinois high-schoolers are observing with Argonne's help.
 Argonne helps high-schoolers reach for the stars

With assistance from Argonne National Laboratory, Rockford high school teacher Dallas Turner and his Advanced Placement students from Auburn High School will be able to observe and obtain information on distant supernovas that larger installations typically pass over.

Protein stability arises from networks of inter-atomic interaction. In this protein, a network is formed when Q37, a surface amino acid residue, forms a hydrogen bond with amino acid residue Y86 and interacts with amino acid residue D82 through a bridging water molecule.
