Imagine that you want to know the plot of a movie, but you only have access to either the visuals or the sound. With visuals ...

Learn how cell-free protein synthesis helps researchers overcome the challenges of traditional membrane protein production ...

Protein function predictions are bioinformatic methods (i.e. involving computation using software) that aim to predict the function of a protein. Protein function analyses use protein sequences ...

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors.

Plants produce a wide diversity of compounds. Broadly, these are separated into primary metabolites, which are necessary for ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...
