Scientists have uncovered a surprisingly simple “tissue code”: five rules that choreograph when, where, and how cells divide, ...

Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

New research from Professor Guillermo Ameer’s team shows how a shape change of a cell’s nucleus can trigger regenerative ...

A Ph.D. graduate student in biomolecular engineering at UC Santa Cruz, with a background in computer science and mathematics, ...

Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the ...

The Siberian flying squirrel (Pteromys volans) is a nocturnal and arboreal rodent that inhabits the boreal taiga forests from ...

University of Cincinnati Cancer Center researchers looked billions of years into the past to learn more about the potential ...

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.

Here, we provide experimental evidence of a direct influence of FR on the nucleotide-binding pocket. We suspect that FR binding reduces the flexibility of the Ser53 G.H1.02 side chain, which further ...

Computational predictions of biomolecular structure via artificial intelligence (AI) based approaches, as exemplified by AlphaFold software, have the potential to model of all life’s biomolecules. We ...

Distributions are grouped by substitution type and whether positions are basepaired in a full-genome secondary structure model of SARS-CoV-2 in Huh7 cells (Lan et al., 2022). The median relative ...

DNA Structure: DNA is composed of two long chains of nucleotides forming a double helix. The nucleotides within each strand are joined together through covalent (specifically phosphodiester) bonds ...
