Moreover, each step in the flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein provides the cell with a potential control point for self-regulating its functions by adjusting the amount and type of ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

Scientists at the University of Washington have learned that corn protein can improve the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries.

Protein has always been important, but it's especially hot right now, and for good reason. It's not just an essential macronutrient, but also the building blocks for muscle strength, metabolism ...

which can cause an electric short circuit. In their proof-of-concept work, the researchers used corn protein as a cover for a separator in the middle of the battery to prevent both problems.
