Articles and reports from the Life Sciences and chemistry area deal with applied and basic research into modern biology, chemistry and human medicine.

Valuable information can be found on a range of life sciences fields including bacteriology, biochemistry, bionics, bioinformatics, biophysics, biotechnology, genetics, geobotany, human biology, marine biology, microbiology, molecular biology, cellular biology, zoology, bioinorganic chemistry, microchemistry and environmental chemistry.

Unbiased look at plants

… uncovers how surprisingly transcription is regulated in plants. In multicellular organisms, transcriptional regulation allows for specialization, such that cells carrying the same genetic code can carry out different functions…

Superior light-to-chemical energy conversion with Coulombic dyads

Scientists in Mainz established a novel photocatalyst class that uses precious metals more efficiently. Inspired by nature’s photosynthesis, photocatalysts use light to trigger a chemical reaction that would otherwise only…

Newly discovered antimicrobial could prevent or treat cholera

Natural antimicrobials called microcins are produced by bacteria in the gut and show promise in fighting infection. More than a million people each year die from infections by pathogens that…

Sustainable Energy

Researchers Unveil New Ways to Control Light Absorption with Iron Compounds. A team of researchers from Jena and Ulm has developed an innovative approach to precisely influence the properties of…

Researchers sequence the genome of the spur-thighed tortoise

A novel approach to DNA sequencing produces the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the genus Testudo. Like many threatened land turtle species, the spur-thighed tortoise had no complete genome. For…

Reaction-induced molybdenum carbides for efficient carbon dioxide conversion

Molybdenum (Mo) carbides, known for their unique electronic and structural properties, are considered promising alternatives to noble metal catalysts in heterogeneous catalysis. However, traditional methods for preparing Mo carbides suffer…
