MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a ...

A new Yale study aims to settle a longstanding question about photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight ...

Researchers have shown, for the first time, how the genetic material of the Nipah virus replicates in infected cells. The ...

Cancer cells have an insatiable appetite for energy as they multiply more rapidly than normal cells. Greedy cancer cells ...

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry have discovered the mechanism behind an important step in the life ...

Smith, PhD, and Kirk Czymmek, PhD, in collaboration with researchers at the CryoEM Facility at Stanford University, are embarking on a pioneering initiative to develop new cryopreservation and ...

The molecular structure of the motor component that powers the gliding apparatus of Mycoplasma mobile, one of the few mycoplasma bacteria that can move, has been revealed using cryo-electron ...

Now, a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of a stalled PAR6–aPKC–LGL complex addresses this conundrum. Peptide synthesis on the ribosome can be blocked by certain peptide motifs.

Researchers have investigated the structure and light energy transfer efficiency of a protein complex crucial to the photosynthesis of purple sulfur bacteria thriving in high-salt, high-alkaline ...
