Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to ...
Scientists have identified the molecular interactions that give spider silk its exceptional strength and flexibility, opening the door to new bio-inspired materials for aircraft, protective clothing ...
Enhancing Norfloxacin’s Solubility and Antibacterial Activity through Pharmaceutical Salt Formation with Fluorobenzoic Acids ...
Using cryo-EM structure determination, molecular dynamics simulations, and electrophysiological analyses, researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...
The authors’ approach is deceptively simple: take an aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme, which naturally converts aldehydes to acids, and get it to react with an amine instead of water. But actually making ...
A new machine-learning system can generate protein designs with certain structural features, and which do not exist in nature. These proteins could be utilized to make materials that have similar ...
(left) Scientists have discovered a new CBCR binding PVB (pink) in a family of photoreceptors usually binding PCB (blue). (right) The new CBCR binding PVB (pink) can switch between two differently ...
Between COVID, HIV, Dengue, Ebola, and emerging flu variants, the last thing the world needs is another type of pathogen, let alone with no treatment or cure. But, although rare, prion diseases, such ...
