Peptides play a crucial role in modern scientific research. These short chains of amino acids serve as building blocks for proteins and perform countless biological functions—from signaling and ...

To learn how biological molecules like proteins function, scientists must first understand their structures. Almost as important is understanding how the structures change, as molecules in the native ...

Researchers at Google DeepMind have developed AlphaFold 3, an AI model that can predict the structure of and interactions between biological molecules including proteins, DNA and RNA, and small ...

The structurally related cell adhesion molecules L1 and Nr-CAM have overlapping expression patterns in cerebellar granule cells. Here we analyzed their involvement in granule cell development using ...

Just like our hands, certain organic molecules relate to each other like an image and its reflection -- a phenomenon that chemists call "chirality" or "handedness." The two mirror images of the same ...

Recognition of the crucial role that nanomechanical properties play in the structure and function of biological systems is ...

Researchers describe a ridge network on the membrane of B lymphocytes for the first time. Using new microscopic methods in combination with machine learning-based image analysis, researchers from ...

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a novel method of delivering drugs into human cells using large biological molecules, by first encasing them ...
