Superheavy elements are intriguing nuclear and atomic quantum systems that challenge experimental probing as they do not occur in nature and, when synthesized,…
Animals as model organisms have so far often been essential for pharmaceutical research – they often provide important information on the efficacy of drugs or…
The bromine molecule (Br2) is widely used for bromination of a variety of organic compounds, where bromination reactions take place via a radical mechanism*2).
Various diseases of the digestive tract, for example severe intestinal inflammation in humans, are closely linked to disturbances in the natural mobility of…
DNA is the molecule that stores information about the structure and functioning of living organisms. This “book of life” is a carefully arranged…
KAIST researchers have used an X-ray method to track how proteins fold, which could improve computer simulations of this process, with implications for…
With increasing age, and especially in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, proteins tend to misfold and aggregate into harmful deposits both inside…
Some corals, however, are more resistant to increasing temperatures. In order to effectively protect coral reef habitats, it is important to identify which…
Cyanobacteria are an ancient group of photosynthetic microbes that occur in the ocean and most inland waters. They have evolved a protein organelle, called the…
An over-abundance of the protein PRC1, which is essential to cell division, is a telltale sign in many cancer types, including prostate, ovarian, and breast…
Proteins are the workers in a cell and, as the “basic element of life”, are responsible for the most widely varying metabolic processes. In plants, for…
The microbial composition of the intestines is complex and varies widely from one individual to another. Many factors such as environmental factors, lifestyle,…
In textbooks, metabolic pathways always look a bit like assembly-line work. One enzyme follows another – like pearls on a string. Intermediate products are…
The aims of HZG’s research within ECOTIP are, on the one hand, to undertake expeditions in the Arctic so that the environment can be studied on site, while on…
The ICF syndrome is a genetic developmental disorder that, among other things, leads to an immune deficiency and therefore increases the susceptibility of…
Our genome is like a “book of life” that contains directions for each cell and the entire organism. But in order for each molecule to make its appearance at…
