Say the word “irradiation,” and a lot of people will shudder. Now ask them about irradiated food, and they’ll quickly say something like “definitely not.” ...

Historically, the vast majority of pharmaceutical drugs have been meticulously designed down to the atomic level. The ...

Historically, small molecule drugs have been precisely designed down to the atomic scale. Considering their relatively large complex structures, nanomedicines have lagged behind. Researchers argue ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered the 3D structure of RBP3, a key protein in vision, revealing how it transports retinoids and fatty ...

Asymmetric interactions between molecules may serve as a stabilizing factor for biological systems. A new model by ...

have tackled this problem head-on by designing a class of MOFs that incorporate structures called pillar[5]arene rings into a MOF framework (Fig. 1). Pillar[5]arenes are molecular rings that bind ...

Proteins are fundamental biomolecules that perform a broad range of vital functions within the human body. They serve as an essential structural and functional component of cells, tissues and organs ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision—and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...

A study uncovers intricate details about protein function at the molecular level. The discovery could transform disease diagnostics and treatment.
