The three-dimensional structure adopted by biological macromolecules largely determines their role in different cellular processes. Several different imaging techniques ranging from X-ray ...

Water, organic molecules, and inorganic ions are the constituents of cells. Water constitutes the greatest fraction of the three, accounting for almost three-quarters of the total mass of a cell. The ...

Note that the brush molecules in Fig. 1b,d have the same chemical composition as their linear counterparts in Fig. 1a,c, although showing the very distinct mixing behaviour. Apparently, the hairy ...

In a discovery with wide-ranging implications, researchers recently announced that uniformly charged macromolecules -- or molecules, such as proteins or DNA, that contain a large number of atoms all ...

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of photosynthesis can enable significant progress in the fields of biotechnology and renewable energy. Photosystem II (PSII), a protein ...
