A new treatment using genome-edited immune cells, developed by scientists at UCL (University College London) and Great Ormond ...
An investigation into cellular components in bacteria has unexpectedly uncovered a feature with relevance across many life ...
The microbe Pyrodictium abyssi is an archaeon—a member of what's known as the third domain of life—and an extremophile. It ...
Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling ...
New research from UChicago shows that cells form biomolecular condensates routinely during the process of translating proteins, not just in times of stress.
Researchers have used cryo-EM and computational tools to visualize ribozyme assembly, shedding light on life's most versatile ...
Archaerhodopsin 3 (AR3) is a microbial proton pump that increases alkalinity inside a cell when exposed to green light.
The protein, reverse transcriptase, has become an essential tool for making DNA copies of RNA.
Ribosomes, the protein factories of the cell, are essential for all living organisms. They bind to mRNA and move along the ...
Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing ...
RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure.
Researchers have discovered how the GRP94 protein enlists the help of other proteins to shield it from glycosylation.
