Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

The study presents valuable findings of an optimized E. coli cell-free protein synthesis (eCFPS) system that has been simplified by reducing the number of core components from 35 to 7; furthermore, ...

Which Is Easier to Digest? Whey protein is considered to be better absorbed by the body than plant proteins. However, if you have trouble digesting dairy products, opt for a plant-based powder instead ...

Most mergers are engineered for efficiency. Systems are aligned, redundancies eliminated, and structures combined. Yet despite careful planning, most mergers fail to deliver on their strategic promise ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

Listen to the episode here or wherever you listen to podcasts: One of the most challenging things about eating well is that many of the foods consumers crave are not nutritionally dense. Legendary ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Scott Hutcheson teaches leadership at Purdue University. Every October, millions of people pay to be frightened. They line up for ...

Integrative modeling transforms how scientists understand molecular machines, with Rutgers researchers leading the global effort The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — For hundreds of Forest Hills students, the John Ball Zoo (JBZ) wasn’t just a place to see animals; it was a living classroom. On Wednesday, more than 600 students from the ...

Researchers demonstrated how amino acids could spontaneously attach to RNA under early Earth-like conditions using thioesters, providing a long-sought clue to the origins of protein synthesis. This ...
