Nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) are polymers of nucleotides – each nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, a phosphate group and one of the nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines). Nucleic acids ...

WE have formulated a structure for the nucleic acids which is compatible with the main features of the X-ray diagram and with the general principles of molecular structure, and which accounts ...

The human body runs on chemistry—from the water that regulates temperature to the proteins that carry oxygen and signal cells ...

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Centre for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed the first RNA-based genetic switch that precisely replicates the logical ...

Protein needs no introduction. You likely already know it as one of the three major macronutrients that make up your diet (the other two being fat and carbohydrates), according to the U.S. Department ...

This article examines how exercise-induced exerkines prevent disease, as well as promote metabolic, cardiovascular, immune, ...

Researchers at Scripps Research have identified a hidden filamentous architecture inside cellular droplets called biomolecular condensates, a finding that could reshape how scientists design drugs ...

In an in-depth interview with Cyclingnews, Dr Heather Logan Sprenger zeros in on the importance of adequate fuelling for peak adaptation, performance and health ...

Erika Rasure is globally-recognized as a leading consumer economics subject matter expert, researcher, and educator. She is a financial therapist and transformational coach, with a special interest in ...

Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...
