In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA then read like a recipe to build a ...

This study reports two cryo-EM structures of the Nipah virus (NiV) polymerase L-P complex in its full-length and truncated ...

New research by scientists at the University of Toronto and the Structural Genomics Consortium has deepened our understanding ...

A significant advancement in molecular engineering has produced a large, hollow spherical shell nanostructure through the self-assembly of peptides and metal ions, report researchers from Japan. This ...

Cells have a trick called splicing. They can cut a gene's message into pieces and decide which fragments to keep. By mixing ...

How do memories last a lifetime when the molecules that form them turn over within days, weeks or months? An interaction ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers have discovered that strand separation may take more mechanical force than the field previously believed.

Gabe Lander and Adrian Koh talk all things cryo-EM and its pivotal role in structural biology research in this feature.

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics ...

By comparing the molecular profiles, we identified functionally related SLC groups, including some with distinct impacts on osmolyte balancing and glycosylation. The assessment of functionally related ...

The book addresses this complaint by concretely demonstrating the range of topics — from electricity to biochemistry, protein structure, molecular engineering, and informatics — that a student will ...
