A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics. Many ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point.

The study showcases a significant and important enhancement of the MAGIC transgenesis method, by extending it genome-wide to all chromosomes. The authors provide compelling evidence to demonstrate ...

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Sung Jae Kim from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has developed a new ...

How are sugars attached to proteins? Sugars are commonly attached to proteins in a process called glycosylation. This fascinating modification involves linking sugar molecules to specific amino acids ...

The film discusses the anatomical and functional significance of the nose, throat, and ears from a medical perspective. It explains how the nose functions as an air passage that warms and filters ...

This study describes the formation of a penetration ring in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae during host cell invasion. The work provides useful insights into how the penetration ring ...

Trans-membrane proteins represent highly interesting and important objects still far from deep recognition. They are playing different and specific biological roles which appear to be highly structure ...
