Viruses are invading pathogens that infect host cells and rapidly replicate throughout the body. They carry a small piece of genetic material such as DNA or RNA surrounded by a capsid that needs a ...

Researchers from the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) designed an experiment to test whether performing X-ray crystallography imaging using elevated temperature ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics.

The positions of these water molecules are often important for understanding protein flexibility and the ability of drug-like molecules to influence protein structure and function. In this study, ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

A newly published study in Protein and Cell identifies glutamine synthetase, an enzyme concentrated in brain support cells ...

Leveraging AI and quantum calculations, scientists developed a new tool that yielded higher-quality structural information ...
