This molecular dynamics (MD) simulation shows DMT bound to the serotonin 2A receptor, based on the crystal structure PDB ID: 9AS1. Throughout the simulation, key interactions help stabilize the ...

Such molecules would be suited to acting as quantum bits, or qubits, the basic unit of information in quantum systems. But ...

As the LLM predicts text in response to the query, it switches between graph modules. One module uses a graph diffusion model ...

In plants, the space between cells is a key battleground during infection. To avoid recognition in this space, a strain of ...

The researchers identified the structure of this machine, the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), and 50 years since its discovery, have shown how it operates like the lock on a canal to transport ...

The May issue of Scientific American takes you on a deep-sea mining mission, explores dark comets and examines an invisible ...

LAR, which is known as a lasso peptide because of its molecular shape ... The ‘tail’ of the lasso is threaded through its ring structure, producing a stable, knotted structure.

Psychedelics drugs with the hallucinatory effects shut down show promise in reconnecting broken neural synaptic connections, which are the cause of some grave diseases.

Understanding how molecules interact with ions is a cornerstone of chemistry, with applications from pollution detection and ...

"Otherwise, previously used protections will automatically lead to defense against the new molecule." The peptide's unique structure may also help circumvent another common bacterial defense ...
