Photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae and certain kinds of bacteria convert solar radiation into chemical energy ...

Once inside the cells, the chloroplasts retained their structure and function, staying within intracellular vesicles near the nucleus. Using advanced imaging techniques, such as super-resolution ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

In photosynthesis, harnessing the power of the Sun is made possible by the flow of electrons from one protein to another inside an organelle called the chloroplast. This organelle contains a complex ...

An international research collaboration has shed new light on the molecular basis of gene expression, the fundamental biological process that underpins how all organisms use their genetic information.

Cryoelectron microscopy is a method for imaging frozen-hydrated specimens at cryogenic temperatures by electron microscopy. Specimens remain in their native state without the need for dyes or ...

Dec. 13, 2024 — Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC ...
