If you suffer from dry lips, sheep lanolin could just be your new best friend. It’s second to none for keeping your lips hydrated. The natural substance is taken straight from freshly shorn sheep’s ...

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...

Collagen IV provides crucial structural support for cells and tissues, but it’s unstable at body temperature. Researchers now ...

Researchers have found a new way to optimise the design molecular motors, bringing us one step closer to making synthetic molecular machines a reality ...

The model’s predecessor, Boltz-1, was released last November as the first fully open-source model to achieve AlphaFold 3-level accuracy in predicting the 3D structure of biomolecular complexes ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy, which enables visualization of frozen molecular structures at high resolution, the team analyzed this unique complex at a resolution of 3.66 Å (less than a ...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is the simplest carbon oxide, an important industrial and laboratory chemical, and a deadly toxin. The molecular structure of CO is unusual. It is variously written with a ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, Davis, made small tweaks to the molecular structure of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to see if it could be turned into an effective brain ...

In 2018, about 13.5 percent of the more than 2.6 million deaths from cardiovascular disease among people ages 55 to 64 globally could have been related to exposure to a type of chemical called a ...

Concrete is a crucial construction material. Unfortunately, however, producing it requires large amounts of energy—often powered by fossil fuels—and includes chemical reactions that release ...
