DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

Explore how biochemistry, microbiology, and pathology collaborate in cancer care for early detection, personalized treatment, and survival monitoring.

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

TO TRAP A SNAP: In their paper, Thomas Söllner and his colleagues assigned functions to previouslly identified components of a transport pathway between various cellular compartments. Vesicles, ...

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have a unique resource in the form of the Center for Biomolecular ...

Protein folding helpers such as TRiC and prefoldin (PFD) are crucial for the correct folding of many essential proteins. In a Nature study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...
