Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

Tianren Zhang, Yao Tang and professor Darrin Pochan developed protein-based building blocks, called bundlemers, for advanced ...

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 ...

The authors’ approach is deceptively simple: take an aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme, which naturally converts aldehydes to acids, and get it to react with an amine instead of water. But actually making ...

Life on Earth may have started with a molecule that still runs our cells today. As researchers probe ribonucleic acid in the ...

The product boasts several claims, including bond repair through a blend of vegan proteins and amino acids, and heat protection up to 450°F, all while not weighing the hair down. Additionally, it ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

Attaching amino acids to a hydrophobic organic molecule allows them to self-assemble into rare, knotted structures with ...

The complex precursors to biological molecules can form spontaneously in interstellar space, according to a lab experiment ...

Scientists have shown that the building blocks of proteins can form naturally in deep space. This means the raw ingredients for life may exist long before planets are formed.

Welcome back to another general science quiz! This 28-question challenge pulls from physics, biology, chemistry, and Earth ...
