Gamers have solved the structure of a retrovirus enzyme whose configuration had stumped scientists for more than a decade. The gamers achieved their discovery…
The surrounding water acts like an “adhesive”, in order to keep the substrate at the right place on an enzyme. For this, the dynamism of the water is retarded….
At the heart of many metabolic processes, including DNA replication, are enzymes called helicases. Acting like motors, these proteins travel along one side of…
They subjected rainbow trout to titanium oxide nanoparticles which are widely used as a whitening agent in many products including paints, some personal care…
Essential for the growth and development of the young pigeon squab, pigeon 'milk' is produced by both parents from fluid-filled cells lining the crop that are…
The radial glial cells, which are marked by long projections that can forge through brain tissue, had never previously been found in an adult spinal cord….
Now, for the first time, scientists have quantified the data capacity of a biochemical signaling pathway and found a surprise – it’s way lower than even an…
An international team of researchers, including University of Wisconsin-Madison geneticist Bret Payseur, describe in the Sept. 14 issue of the journal Nature…
Alternative splicing allows one gene to generate many different genetic messages and protein products. The researchers found that in genetic messages of a gene…
When Arctic ground squirrels are getting ready to hibernate they don't just get fat – they pack on muscle at a rate that would make a bodybuilder jealous. And…
In the quest to understand genomes—how they’re built, how they’re organized and what makes them work—a team of Johns Hopkins researchers has engineered from…
In a new study NYU School of Medicine researchers report that they have found several chemical compounds, including an antidepressant, that have powerful…
Scientists have deciphered the genome of a bacterium implicated as a key player in regulating the immune system of mice. The genomic analysis provides the…
A new model of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that mirrors both symptoms of the disease and the timing of its treatment in humans has been created by…
“In the field of electromobility mainly research on lithium-ion battery technology has been promoted in the past years. But the limits of this technology…
The biggest obstacle to making use of solar energy has been the excessively high price of solar cells made of inorganic semiconductors. In contrast, solar…
