Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

One of the greatest revolutions in the field of pain medication was the isolation of morphine from the opium poppy in the ...

Many displays found in smartphones and televisions rely on thin-film transistors (TFTs) made from indium gallium zinc oxide ...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

It seems we actually share something in common with whales, as it turns out our tailbones, or coccyx, are also very important for the surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This vestigial ...

Abstract Summary Homologous Recombination (HR) preserves genomic stability by repairing double-strand DNA breaks and ensuring efficient DNA replication. Central to HR is the strand-exchange reaction ...

Future research can predict the 3D structure of proteins, including obtaining remote homologous sequences, interpretability of protein structure predictions, and protein domain boundary prediction, by ...

Visual systems of both humans and animals can detect life motion from the environment at the earliest stage of visual ...

Accurately predicting protein structure properties is essential in analyzing the structure and function of a protein, such as secondary structure, solvent accessibility, and dihedral angles. Multiple ...

DSBs in human cells are repaired via non-homologous DNA end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination repair pathways. In the former process, the structure of DNA termini plays an important role, as ...
