Researchers have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage -- phage for short -- that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

have tackled this problem head-on by designing a class of MOFs that incorporate structures called pillar[5]arene rings into a MOF framework (Fig. 1). Pillar[5]arenes are molecular rings that bind ...

has uncovered a surprising role for calcium in shaping life's earliest molecular structures. Their findings suggest that calcium ions can selectively influence how primitive polymers form ...

A team of scientists at China’s Nanjing University has developed a technique for increasing the strength of wood by removing the hollow tubes that run through its cellulose structure ... the Nanjing ...

This study investigates the underlying molecular mechanisms for CPVT mutations within the RyR2 N-terminus domain (NTD). Conclusion: The NTD-CSol inter-subunit interface variant, A77T, produces a ...

Amino acids are the building blocks that form polypeptides and ultimately proteins. Consequently, they are fundamental components of our bodies and vital for physiological functions such as protein ...

Figure 1. Structures and interconversion of oxygen in the prosthetic heme found in hemoglobin. Heme contains four subunits, each with an individual heme moiety. In oxyhemoglobin, Hb(3+)-O 2^-is ...

Design approaches that incorporate appropriate mRNA structures may have the potential to produce the finely tuned synthesis rates observed in natural operons. In the experiment testing the effects of ...
