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 ...

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 ...

Model systems based on virus capsids have shown how large biomolecules are able to penetrate a cell nucleus / The larger the molecule, the more nuclear localization signals are needed A new study in ...

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 ...

If you’re an avid reader of science news, you’ve probably heard of viral proteins such as the COVID-19 spike protein. Lesser known, perhaps, in the anatomy of viruses is a class of molecules called ...

To determine which statements about glycosaminoglycans are true, you first need to understand their core characteristics: ...

A new research effort is accelerating imaging techniques to visualize structures of small molecules clearly -- a process once thought impossible. Their discovery unleashes endless potential in ...

A molecule is not a carbohydrate if it fails to meet the fundamental criteria outlined above. Specifically, if a molecule ...

In patients with severe osteoarthritis, cartilage can wear so thin that joints essentially transform into bone on bone — without a cushion between. A new therapy that uses synthetic nanofibers to ...
