Electron microscopy images reveal crucial structures and mechanisms within the molecular machinery that certain bacteria use ...

The efforts of microscopists have given aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy the power to reveal atomic structures with unprecedented precision. It is now up to materials ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

Collagen, the body’s most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a new study led by Rice University’s Jeffrey Hartgerink and Tracy Yu, in ...

Using cryogenic-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), the research team has mapped the structure of CXCR2, revealing how it interacts with various chemokines. These findings could serve as a foundation for ...

Biological motors, which aid microorganism movement in fluids, are composed of two components -- the rotor and stators. Despite much research, the exact molecular mechanism underlying stator function ...
