The model has uncovered a hidden layer of molecular code that shapes biological organization, adding new dimensions of ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism — a novel genomically recoded organism ...

Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each performing a specialized function. Researchers have long known that the ...

The shape of a protein is dictated by its amino acid sequence. While sequences may mutate, the overall structure often remains similar to preserve function. The researchers hypothesised they could ...

Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.

Girolline, a compound extracted from the sea sponge Pseudaxinyssa cantharella, has been investigated for possible antitumor effects and also found to have anti-malarial effects. Now, researchers have ...

A "pocket" on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Two studies by researchers at the University of Konstanz investigated ...
