Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that a ...

AlphaFold didn't accelerate biology by running faster experiments. It changed the engineering assumptions behind protein ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving electrical measurement precision and enabling detection of subtle structural changes ...

A research team at Florida State University's Institute of Molecular Biophysics and Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry ...

In a decades-long effort, researchers have discovered how to tweak the molecular pathways that turn heart muscle motors up or ...

MIT scientists have achieved the first-ever lab synthesis of verticillin A, a complex fungal compound discovered in 1970. Its delicate structure stalled chemists for decades, despite differing from ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

Scientists organize millions of proteins by shape, as predicted by AI, revealing 700,000 new families and some shapes unique ...

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

Scientists discovered that the protein RPA plays a critical and previously unconfirmed role in stimulating telomerase to maintain long, healthy telomeres. When RPA malfunctions, telomeres can shorten ...
