This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry is all about proteins, the chemical building blocks and tools that virtually all living ...

This article was originally published with the title “ The Three-Dimensional Structure of a Protein Molecule ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 205 No. 6 (December 1961), p. 96 doi:10.1038 ...

It seeks to explain biological function in terms of molecular structure, dynamics and organization, from single molecules to supramolecular structures. Clathrin helps cells internalize and ...

Josebe Hurtado has been able to "synthesize molecules with an elusive asymmetry using a novel methodology that opens up a new path towards a hitherto unattained type of molecular structure ...

The human embryonic haemoglobins were discovered in 1961. [1] [2] These include Hb-Gower 1, consisting of 2 zeta chains and 2 epsilon chains, and Hb-Gower 2, which consists of 2 αlpha-chains and 2 ...

Through experimental characterization and computational modeling, we show that subtle changes in prodrug molecular architecture have dramatic effects on self-assembly morphology, drug release profiles ...

However, digesting hemoglobin releases a toxic molecule called heme, which threatens the parasite’s survival. To protect ...

Often known as the central science, it is a creative discipline chiefly concerned with atomic and molecular structure and its change, for instance through chemical reactions. One electron σ-bonds ...

Nov. 13, 2024 — Few questions have captivated humankind more than the origin of life on Earth. How did the first living cells come to exist? How did these early protocells develop the structural ...
