Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a critical immunostimulatory impurity in mRNA production and poses a problem for the downstream purification methods vital to manufacturing mRNA vaccines and ...

In 20th-century biochemistry history of China, Szu-Chih Liu (刘思职, 1904—1983)(Fig. 1) acted as a central bridge in both academic genealogy and knowledge indigenization. Liu inherited the methodology ...

The Biochemistry (BS) major is an interdisciplinary program with foundational studies in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Mathematics. This major is ideal for students with interest in pursuing ...

RNA folds into novel structures at low temperatures due to ribose-water interactions, suggesting a primitive “sweet-RNA world.” This discovery could impact our understanding of life in cold ...

An artistic representation of the temperature dependence of the RNA free-energy landscape (FEL) of folding. The authors showed that RNAs undergo a phase transition in the cold and misfold due to the ...

Researchers have developed a material to remove urea from water and potentially convert it into hydrogen gas. By building these materials of nickel and cobalt atoms with carefully tailored electronic ...

Typically, the students who enroll in Karla Neugebauer’s undergraduate classes are interested in examining life at the molecular level. But during a recent seminar discussion, Neugebauer, a professor ...

The Biochemistry Major is administered by the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and includes courses provided by both Chemistry and the Department of Biology. As a field, biological chemistry ...

The impact of biochemistry has been seen most notably in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. However, biochemistry plays a fundamental role in everyday life, affecting different aspects of ...

The impact of nutrition on both physical and mental health has gained much interest in recent years. Emerging studies are finding more strong connections between diet, gut health and the microbiome, ...
