RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change ...

To learn how biological molecules like proteins function, scientists must first understand their structures. Almost as important is understanding how the structures change, as molecules in the native ...

The structurally related cell adhesion molecules L1 and Nr-CAM have overlapping expression patterns in cerebellar granule cells. Here we analyzed their involvement in granule cell development using ...

Peptides play a crucial role in modern scientific research. These short chains of amino acids serve as building blocks for proteins and perform countless biological functions—from signaling and ...

Recognition of the crucial role that nanomechanical properties play in the structure and function of biological systems is ...

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a novel method of delivering drugs into human cells using large biological molecules, by first encasing them ...

Model systems based on virus capsids have shown how large biomolecules are able to penetrate a cell nucleus. The larger the molecule, the more nuclear localization signals are needed. A new study in ...
