	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Carlos Maria Bustamante
		In 1796 he took up the study of law, participated in the attempts to secure independence from Spain, and, when that was finally achieved, opposed the designs of Iturbide to transform the newborn republic into a hereditary monarchy.
		Bustamante distinguished himself by publishing historical works on colonial times, till then in manuscript, and partly forgotten.
		Bustamante's anti-Spanish feelings influence even his scientific publications and detract from their value.

	Unique study reveals new details on how genes are transcribed
		Carlos Bustamante, a biophysicist who holds a joint appointment with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley (UC Berkeley), heads the group that published the results of this work in the March 31 issue of the journal Science.
		Bustamante and his colleagues speculate that within a cell there may be other molecules that bind to the RNAP to stabilize its conformation, so that it transcribes at a faster or slower rate-which in turn would make it more or less susceptible to pausing.
		NOTE: Carlos Bustamante is a professor in UC Berkeley's Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, the Department of Physics, and the Department of Chemistry.

		Bustamante and the paper's two lead authors, graduate students Zev Bryant and Michael Stone, are at the University of California, Berkeley.
		Bustamante and his colleagues discovered from this analysis that the DNA molecule was about 40 percent more resistant to twisting than had been reported by other researchers.
		For example, Bustamante and his colleagues are now using the same experimental apparatus to explore how the enzyme DNA polymerase — which copies a single DNA strand by pulling itself along the strand's length — exerts torque on the DNA strand as it works.

		The phi-29 portal motor discovered by Carlos Bustamante and his colleagues is a protein that packs viral DNA into a space 6,000 times smaller than normal volume.
		In the case of phi-29, Bustamante's optical tweezers measured not only the work done by the protein motor, but also the pressure exerted by the packaged DNA on the interior of the bacteriophage, and the energy released when the DNA is injected into a host bacterium.
		Bustamante is at the forefront of interdisciplinary research at UC Berkeley.

		First, let’s begin with Carlos Bustamante, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, who in 1990, along with the help of his colleagues at the University of Oregon, tacked one end of a DNA molecule to a magnetic bead and measured its elasticity by tugging at the bead with magnets (Kher 2001)(See Figure below).
		Also, Bustamante, whose goal is to someday build a living cell, using an atomic force microscope and a laser tweezer may have found a way to get past bucket biochemistry, which is characterized by studying molecular machines as population.
		Another project I found interesting was performed by 1997 when Bustamante grasped a single protein and, applying forces only a trillionth as strong as those the earth exerts on an apple, pull it apart like a molecular Velcro (Kher 2001) This was done to study how proteins and nucleic acids fold into their complex structures.

	Molecular motor packs DNA into viruses at greater than champagne pressures, researchers report
		For nearly four years, Bustamante and his colleagues at the University of Minnesota tried pulling on the DNA as it is being stuffed into the capsid in an attempt to measure the force generated by the packing motor.
		Among the other questions Bustamante and his colleagues hope to answer is whether the bacteriophage's portal motor is a rotating motor, like the motor that powers the tail or flagellum of some bacteria.
		Bustamante is a member of UC Berkeley's Health Sciences Initiative, a broad effort bringing together researchers from many disciplines to work on health problems of the 21st century.

		Bustamante has been a pioneer in the field of mechanochemistry, devising ingenious single-molecule methods to manipulate and investigate proteins, DNA, and RNA.
		Using magnetic and laser tweezers, he and his group have been able to measure the tiny mechanical forces that allow macromolecules to drive living processes, increasing our understanding of how cells and organisms work.
		I am now using single-molecule approaches to study the mechanical unfolding of proteins and RNA, to study the operation of nucleic-acid-binding molecular motors such as RNA and DNA polymerases, and to characterize the mechanical properties of proteins and nucleic acids to better understand their performance in the cell.

		But what Bustamante has found is that RNA polymerase really acts in fits and starts, moving quickly sometimes, while at other times moving slowly or not at all.
		Bustamante’s interest in the microscopic world took root in his father’s library, where he discovered a biography of the great neurologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal, a Spanish scientist who won the Nobel Prize in 1906 with Camillo Golgi.
		Bustamante was again working with microscopes, albeit far more sophisticated ones than those of his youth--signal fluorescence microscopes, spectroscopic microscopes, and atomic force microscopes (which are capable of “feeling” the atomic structure of a surface).

		A joint venture for Bustamante, Dunning and the W.H. Chou textile and garment conglomerate, the operation was touted as the world's most sophisticated aircraft repair station.
		Bustamante said the operation was impeded by a lack of skilled employees, parts held up at the border and the 1994 peso crisis.

		Bustamante, Ryan B. Case, Nicholas R. Cozzarelli and their colleagues at Berkeley published their findings on June 3, 2004, in Science Express, which provides rapid electronic publication of selected articles from the journal Science.
		Bustamante and his colleagues took note of earlier studies by another group of researchers that provided evidence that condensins appeared to induce “supercoiling” in DNA, which occurs when two helical molecules intertwine.
		That perfect reproducibility strongly suggested to Bustamante and his colleagues that they were seeing a condensed structure with a well defined organization.
