Even though proteins are considered macromolecules ... long stretches of similar amino acid sequences within their primary structure. These stretches have been conserved through evolution and ...

Molecular biology is concerned with understanding processes in living organisms at a molecular level, as well as the chemical and physical structure of macromolecules. Molecular biologists focus on ...

They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret of life." But James Watson and ...

Our research in the Laboratory of Structural Biology aims at understanding the structure and function of biological macromolecules and their complexes, such as those involved in cellular cargo ...

Crick and Watson were trying to build a 3D model of the DNA molecule. But they were not the only ones working on finding its structure. They were competing with a team at King's College London ...
