Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to ...

DNA nanopyramids slip through the brain's protective barrier and release cancer drugs only when they detect the acidic ...

For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...

Membrane proteins are vital for cellular signaling, transport, and communication, making them attractive drug targets despite their challenging properties. Advances in mass spectrometry have enabled ...

In the field of protein biochemistry, the emergence of nonaqueous solvents such as ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DES) has unveiled new ...

Krabbe disease, also called globoid-cell leukodystrophy, is caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme β-galactosylceramidase (GALC), resulting from pathogenic variants in both copies of the GALC ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...
