When you blow out your birthday candles each year, you’re marking the passage of time but not necessarily the passage of age.

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 ...

A study published in mBio details the vulnerability of coronaviruses to inhibitors of a small protein domain called Mac1, or the "macrodomain," found in all coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and ...

New World Development Co., the distressed Hong Kong developer that’s unsettled investors by delaying some debt payments, faces a critical test Monday when interest comes due on a dollar bond.

A team of chemists at the University of Cambridge has developed a powerful new method for adding single carbon atoms to molecules more easily, offering a simple one-step approach that could ...

These intricate molecules start from a sequence of amino acid “letters,” which bond to each other and eventually fold into intricate 3D structures. Many structural elements—a loop here, a weave or ...

Chemistry professor Chris Chang’s lab studies the chemical biology of the elements, specifically examining the roles that copper, iron, and zinc play in biology across all kingdoms of life.

How do memories last a lifetime when the molecules that form them turn over within days, weeks or months? An interaction between two proteins points to a molecular basis for memory.

To unpack why molecules never stop moving, and before we get lost in the fundamental weirdness of quantum mechanics, we must first clarify something a bit more straightforward: What is temperature?

These bonds are among the most common in organic chemistry, and the molecules they appear in provide the building blocks of proteins and DNA.

Google DeepMind releases AlphaFold 3's source code to academics, marking a significant advance in AI-powered molecular biology and drug discovery, while balancing open science with commercial ...
