Molecular dynamics simulations yield thermodynamic and time-dependent behavior, elucidating the role of intrinsically ...

Living systems are composed of networks of interacting biopolymers, ions and metabolites. These components drive a complex array of cellular processes, many of which cannot be observed when the ...

Life may have started in sticky, rock-hugging gels rather than inside cells. Researchers suggest these primitive, biofilm-like materials could trap and concentrate molecules, giving early chemistry a ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to ...

Detecting gum disease currently requires a dentist chair and visual exam, often catching problems only after tissue damage ...

Researchers from a joint Skoltech and University of Sharjah laboratory and their collaborators from Paris Saclay University, France, have identified biomolecules whose levels in nerve tissue are ...

This proteomics-driven approach to drug discovery improves target validation and uncovers insights into undruggable proteins, ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

The effects of depression may infiltrate your very bones – and conversely, your bones may send penetrating messages all the ...

How did life begin? A team of scientists from Japan, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, and Germany believes the answer may involve sticky gels that coated ...

In biology, many RNA molecules act as sophisticated microscopic machines. Among them, riboswitches function as tiny biological sensors, changing their 3D shape upon binding to a specific metabolite.

Links between gut dysfunction and the eye may reveal therapeutic strategies for individuals with diabetic retinopathy ...
