Researchers have found that peroxiredoxins, a family of antioxidant enzymes central to how cells manage oxidative stress, can assemble into a far wider variety of molecular shapes than scientists ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

In a series of experiments at Johns Hopkins University, Lily Zhao fired tiny samples of a microorganism with a room-sized gas ...

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 the chemical characteristics.

Scientists have uncovered surprising complexity in a tiny sensory structure found in comb jellies, some of the oldest animals on Earth.

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...

UC Santa Barbara researchers report the invention of a modular, genetically encoded, protein-based sensor that enables MRI machines to visualize molecular activity inside cells ...

For most patients, the loss faded within weeks or months. But for a smaller group, taste never fully returned. Even years after infection, certain flavors remain muted or completely absent.

A research team led by Dr. Sung Mook Choi of the Energy & Environment Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), in collaboration with a team headed by Professor ...

The appendix has independently evolved at least 32 times across 361 mammalian species. What makes it an evolutionary darling ...

Simultaneous elections do not violate the basic structure of the Constitution or its federal framework, former Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai told Parliament’s Joint Committee reviewing the ...
