Chemical and structural methods will go hand in hand into the future of macromolecular structural biology on all levels. Determining structures of large molecular assemblies by methods including ...

Scientists have captured the first detailed 'molecular movie' showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level -- revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material.

Molecular Biology is the field of biology that studies the composition, structure and interactions of cellular molecules such as nucleic acids and proteins that carry out the biological ...

Peter H. Seeburg (Center for Molecular Biology, University of Heidelberg): "In our brain, nerve cells communicate by chemical transmission at specialized structures termed synapses. Most excitatory ...

Armed with a deep understanding of the structure of cells, professionals in the field of Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB) are leading the charge against some of the world's most prevalent illnesses ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at ...

Researchers led by Prof. Dr. Hauke Hillen, head of the "Structure and Function of Molecular Machines" research group at the ...

The intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not attain a stable secondary or tertiary structure and rapidly change their conformation, making structure prediction particularly challenging.

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

The work, published as two papers in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, could improve treatment for fertility problems and developmental disorders. "We are finding the 3D structure of the genome," ...
