For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...

The problem of surface waves usually degrades the performance of planar circuits and antennas, to reduce its effects, the electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures are applied to suppress these ...

An interaction between two proteins points to a molecular basis for memory. But how do memories last when the molecules that ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have reconciled two closely related but contentious mechanisms underlying ...

One class of functionally important RNA is repeating transcripts that cause disease through various mechanisms. For example, expanded CAG repeats can cause Huntington’s and other disease through ...

Given the amino-acid sequence or 3D structure of a protein, how much can we predict about its function using just a desktop computer? The recent explosive growth in the volume of sequence data and ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders ...

Glycogen is a very large molecule with a branched structure that exists in multiple tiers. 1213 Whether glycogen is synthesized and degraded in an ordered or a random manner remains controversial. 714 ...

These domains, enriched at homodimer interfaces, likely serve as structural scaffolds ensuring fidelity during genome packaging. This work establishes HiCapR as a robust tool for probing RNA ...

Lattice structures with different desired physical properties are promising for a broad spectrum of applications. The availability of additive manufacturing (AM) technology has relaxed the fabricating ...

Here we report the 2.8 Å resolution crystal structure of the highly conserved S15–rRNA complex. Protein S15 interacts in the minor groove with a G-U/G-C motif and a three-way junction.

The U.S. Senate took the initial steps toward final approval of its first major crypto legislation as members opened voting Wednesday on the bill to set standards for U.S. stablecoin issuers ...
