When scientists discovered DNA and learned how to control it, not only science but society was revolutionized. Today, researchers and the medical industry routinely create artificial DNA structures ...

Peptide bonds represent a cornerstone in molecular biology. They act as essential chemical linkages that bind amino acids into complex chains, ultimately forming peptides and proteins. These ...

Researchers find that simple DNA-peptide interactions create a surprising diversity of compartmentalised higher-ordered phase behaviours, suggesting that these polymers' primordial interactions helped ...

Unlike the rigid skeletons within our bodies, the skeletons within individual cells—cytoskeletons—are changeable, even fluid. And when these cytoskeletons reorganize themselves, they do more than ...

The process of 'translation' in protein synthesis involves formation of a peptide bond between two amino acids that are attached to two distinct transfer RNAs (tRNAs). For long, scientists have been ...

Many biological functions are regulated by the switching on and off of mechanisms triggered by the matching of a keyhole ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...
