A University of Arkansas professor has worked out a novel way to calculate electron energies more efficiently, allowing researchers to calculate the structure and function of large, biologically ...

RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change ...

Peptides play a crucial role in modern scientific research. These short chains of amino acids serve as building blocks for proteins and perform countless biological functions—from signaling and ...

Water, organic molecules, and inorganic ions are the constituents of cells. Water constitutes the greatest fraction of the three, accounting for almost three-quarters of the total mass of a cell. The ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 78, No. 1, [Part 2: Biological Sciences] (Jan., 1981), pp. 524-528 (5 pages) Several biological effector functions ...

Scientists have created a computer program that 'paints' the structure of molecules in the style of famous Dutch artist, Piet Mondrian. Researchers are opening eyes and minds to the beauty of ...

The structurally related cell adhesion molecules L1 and Nr-CAM have overlapping expression patterns in cerebellar granule cells. Here we analyzed their involvement in granule cell development using ...

A large study in pet dogs has uncovered potential new biomarkers of aging that could one day help both dogs and humans live longer, healthier lives. Scientists have long searched for biological ...
