Researchers found the PHGDH gene directly causes Alzheimer’s and discovered a drug-like molecule, NCT-503, that may help ...

A new study shows the tradeoff between power and efficiency in muscles is governed by proteins that form a molecular tuning ...

Eukaryogenesis occurred suddenly, driven by the growing length of genes and the limitations on producing longer proteins. An ...

In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, proteins accumulate in the body's cells, fold incorrectly and clump together to form larger aggregates. Normally, cells are able to ...

Scientists at Columbia University have just mapped the exact molecular structure that makes us love sugar and artificial ...

At MIT, one genome researcher is testing a different approach. Bin Zhang, associate professor of chemistry and the leader of ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that strand separation ...

New hollow dodecahedral shell demonstrates remarkable stability and potential for functionalization and encapsulating ...

Somewhere in a lab, a Tyrannosaurus rex is being brought back to life—not as a living, breathing beast, but as a handbag ...

While most studies focus on the entire protein structure, they often overlook the local structure of protein pockets which play a vital role in DTA due to their direct interaction with drugs. At the ...

Each cell has their own genetic code that helps maintain viability and directs function.  This genetic code is commonly referred to as deoxyribonuclei | Immunology ...
