Cells in the body, like our human beings, exchange a lot of signals with their surroundings. Inadquate signal pathways might affect the function of cells and then diseases would come. However, we...
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have developed a three-dimensional structure that allows them to see how and where disease mutations on the Twinkle protein cause mitochondrial...
Structure published online the research results of Chen Yong's research group at the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science (Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology) of the Chinese Academy...
For the first time, scientists have elucidated the structure of GABA transporter 1 (GAT-1) using cryo-electron microscopy. The discovery could lead to better new treatments for neurological disorders...
In 1963, Italian scholar Bellini first discovered susceptibility bacteria in freshwater and published research results, but they did not attract attention. In 1975, when an American doctor of...
As an efficient optical "molecular ruler", fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) has a wide range of applications in biological macromolecular interactions, immunoassays, and nucleic acid...
During the transcription stage, RNA needs to terminate at the right place. Who is responsible for this process? Fifty years ago, scientists speculated about a possible model: a hexameric ring-shaped...
Eating a tablet of ibuprofen when you have a headache may reduce the pain quickly; eating a tablet of ibuprofen when you have a fever may decrease your body temperature quickly. Have you ever thought...
Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and their collaborators have solved a decades-long puzzle about how E. coli and other bacteria can move. Bacteria push themselves forward...
Liposomes have a phospholipid bilayer structure similar to cell membranes. Liposomes are closed ultramicrospheres, similar to an organelle-free artificial cell (only with cell membranes). The...
Do you know how a small tablet is produced from scratch? From cells to mice, rats to primates to humans, how many twists and turns did an original innovative drug go through when it became a commodity...
In the late 17th century, Dutch businessman Anthoni van Leeuwenhoek began to use the first microscope to study a very small world and discovered a colorful world composed of protists, bacteria, and...
Abnormal accumulation of misfolded tau in filaments is characteristic of many neurodegenerative diseases—precisely for this reason, these neurodegenerative diseases are collectively referred to as...
Sandwiching the wobble protein between two other layers allowed scientists to get the most detailed picture of a protein that is key to the spread of acute myeloid leukemia. Acute myeloid leukemia...
On July 8, 2021, Journal of Structural Biology published online the technological innovation achievement "VHUT-cryo-FIB, a method to fabricate frozen hydrated lamellae from tissue specimens for in...
