Kanazawa University, report in Small, on how short peptides self-assemble linearly on atomically-thick solid surfaces, such ...

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

Researchers reveal how hydration shapes peptide assembly on 2D materials, offering new insights for bioelectronics and ...

Therefore, the rQTY variants could become partially hydrophobic proteins at specific sites. If the rQTY code can replace amino acids Q, T, Y to L, V and F, respectively, it can then increase the ...

To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian ...

How do we determine how healthy our food is? We know now that our nutrition shouldn't just be measured in calories, or even ...

Every protein in the body is encased in a water shell that directs protein structure, provides vital stability and steers ...

Insects possess a remarkable ability to develop innate immune memory, and the mechanisms underlying this process are becoming a central topic in innate immunity research.

An experimental rationalization of the structure type encountered in DNA and RNA by systematically investigating the chemical and physical properties of alternative nucleic acids has identified ...

A novel fluorescence method for determining the depth of Trp residues in membrane-inserted polypeptides is introduced. Quenching of Trp by acrylamide and 10-doxylnonadecane (10-DN) was used to measure ...
