Proteins are essential molecules in living systems. They move, interact and organize themselves to carry out a wide range of ...

A single drug can take more than a decade and an estimated $2.6 billion to bring to market, and much of that time is spent ...

A team of researchers used a new technique, called high-resolution template matching, or HRTM, to uncover in unprecedented detail the movement of ribosomes -- the molecular structures that synthesize ...

Guest molecules slice through droplets of DNA polymers in the form of a frontal wave / Basis for a better understanding of biological processes. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg ...

For many people, "protein" is the key element of a food order. However, beyond the preferred choice of meats or plant-based alternatives, proteins encompass a large class of complex biomolecules whose ...

The trajectory of a biological particle moving across two distinct regions of space, each with different physical properties that alter how the particle diffuses. As it crosses the boundary, its ...

Molecular rotors are dynamic chemical systems that exhibit controlled internal rotation, forming the basis for a myriad of applications in nanoscale devices and molecular machinery. Their ...

In molecular shuttles, a ring molecule is threaded onto a linear molecular strand and can move between two portions of the strand, called stations, in response to external stimuli. Chemical stimulus, ...

(Nanowerk News) Artificial molecular machines, nanoscale machines consisting of a few molecules, offer the potential to transform fields involving catalysts, molecular electronics, medicines, and ...

Scientists have found a way to see ultrafast molecular interactions inside liquids using an extreme laser technique once thought impossible for fluids. When they mixed nearly identical chemicals, one ...

At one time or another, most of us have played with a flipbook, using our thumbs to rapidly flip a series of pictures to create an illusion of movement. Scientists use a similar technique to study the ...
