A cancer-causing protein long thought to be resistant to medication could soon be the target of new drugs, thanks to the work ...

Inside cells, two important enzymes act like small central regulatory hubs: dipeptidyl peptidase 8 and 9—DPP8/9 for short.

The May issue of Scientific American takes you on a deep-sea mining mission, explores dark comets and examines an invisible threat to the food we eat ...

In the past several decades, significant progress has been made in controlling molecular chirality, as evidenced by the several Nobel Prizes in chemistry awarded in this area, particularly for ...

In a striking demonstration of molecular control, a team of scientists has harnessed light to reverse the twist in self-assembling molecules. The study identifies how trace residual aggregates in ...

Why do problems occur with a special variant of 'protein glues', the split inteins, that severely limit their use in producing proteins? A team has now answered this question.

This important study shows, for the first time, the structure and snapshots of the dynamics of the full-length soluble Angiotensin-I converting enzyme dimer. The combination of structural and ...
