Threads or ropes can easily be used for braiding, knotting, and weaving. In chemistry, however, processing molecular strands ...

The glycocalyx surrounds each cell in the human body like a coat. This complex sugar layer plays a key role in the ...

In chemistry, however, processing molecular strands in this way is an almost impossible task. This is because molecules are not only tiny, they are also constantly in motion and therefore cannot be ...

If you rotate an image of a molecular structure, a human can tell the rotated image is still the same molecule, but a machine ...

A derivative of the metal-organic complex ferrocene has 20 valence electrons in a stable configuration, overturning the ...

Template-assisted synthesis dramatically improves the yield of functionalized oligophenylene cages, report researchers from ...

Scripps scientists show that ribose may have been nature’s preferred sugar for building RNA, offering new insight into how life’s molecular foundations may have formed before biology began. Today, ...

Astronomers have discovered a 200-light-year-wide Giant Molecular Cloud dubbed the Midpoint cloud that seems to be feeding ...

The team then addressed the missing molecular links by exposing the membrane to additional linking molecules that fill in gaps in the structure. Using electron microscopes capable of imaging ...

The structure showed 12 transmembrane helices in two pseudo-symmetric bundles and two periplasmic subdomains. Experiments showed that the coiled-coil domain, whose predicted model extends from one of ...
