Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

Researchers used advanced microscopy to uncover important protein structures. For the first time, two important protein ...

Researchers discovered how coccolithophores, a subset of haptophytes, harness the sun's energy, which could lead to ...

In 1977, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Roger Guillemin and Andrew Schally for their discovery and synthesis of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), a key regulator of ...

A new study led by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University has revealed the detailed structure of glutamate receptors in the cerebellum using cryo-electron microscopy. The findings, ...

A controversial collaboration between Duke and cord blood banker Cryo-Cell could be a worrisome sign of things to come in cell therapy.

Cryoelectron microscopy is a method for imaging frozen-hydrated specimens at cryogenic temperatures by electron microscopy. Specimens remain in their native state without the need for dyes or ...

Cryo-electron tomography (also cryo-ET or electron cryotomography) is a technique where an electron microscope is used to record a series of two-dimensional images as a biological sample held at ...

GW4 Cryo-EM Facility Steering Group The steering group includes members from Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, and Exeter. The group meets quarterly to: advise on policy and strategy coordinate ...

According to NASA, this occurs when the celestial body is at its farthest point from Earth. Here are some top photos from this month's strawberry moon.
