Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal ...

Historically, the vast majority of pharmaceutical drugs have been meticulously designed down to the atomic level. The ...

Historically, small molecule drugs have been precisely designed down to the atomic scale. Considering their relatively large complex structures, nanomedicines have lagged behind. Researchers argue ...

Researchers have uncovered the 3D structure of RBP3, a key protein in vision, revealing how it transports retinoids and fatty ...

Bacteria naturally present in the human intestine (known as the gut microbiota) can transform cholesterol-derived bile acids into powerful metabolites that strengthen anti-cancer immunity by blocking ...

BRUMMAGE 1 has recently questioned my conclusions 2 on the structure of molecular films of stearic acid on copper. The criticism was based mainly on the observation that almost all long-chain ...

The researchers identified the structure of this machine, the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), and 50 years since its discovery, have shown how it operates like the lock on a canal to transport ...

Our brain's remarkable ability to form and store memories has long fascinated scientists, yet most of the microscopic mechanisms behind memory and learning processes remain a mystery.

Amino acids are the building blocks that form polypeptides and ultimately proteins. Consequently, they are fundamental components of our bodies and vital for physiological functions such as protein ...

all other agents and combination products are not FDA-indicated for migraine ‡ Combination of butalbital (a 5-allyl-5-isobutyl-barbituric acid, used for tension headaches), isometheptene (a ...

These amino acids form three strands, which make up the triple-helix structure characteristic of collagen. Collagen is found in connective tissue, skin, tendons, bones, and cartilage. It provides ...
