A new method for manipulating macromolecules has been developed by researchers. The technique uses double-stranded DNA to direct the behavior of other molecules. A new method for manipulating ...

The ability to purify macromolecular machines in an intact, stable manner is imperative to mechanistically interrogate their function within cells and to elucidate three-dimensional (3D) structures.

Metals have vital roles in both the mechanism and architecture of biological macromolecules. Yet structures of metal-containing macromolecules in which metals are misidentified and/or suboptimally ...

In response, Semin Lee proposed using the cyanostilbene molecule as a building block for a new macrocycle—a cyclic macromolecule with the capacity to bind ions. After false starts, he designed ...

In recent years, there has been an emergence of new strains of viruses, pathogenic bacteria and fungi, and protozoan parasites that threaten global health. Baylor College of Medicine has an ...

The Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography Core and the Recombinant Protein Production and Characterization Core have merged into a new core, the “Recombinant Protein Production, Characterization, and ...

The synthesis and self-organization of biological macromolecules is essential for life on earth. Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich chemists now report the spontaneous emergence of complex ...

Discovery comes as an extension of the development of a polymer ion-gel, which promises to outperform conventional flammable liquid battery electrolytes. Researchers in the College of Science and ...
