Imagine a microscopic locomotive moving back and forth along a track, propelling itself without any external force. At the molecular level, this concept forms the foundation of molecular motors -- ...

Researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a new method for the rapid, scalable preparation of uniform ...

Sunburns and aging skin are obvious effects of exposure to harmful UV rays, tobacco smoke and other carcinogens. But the effects aren't just skin deep. Inside the body, DNA is literally being torn ...

The applied physicist explains how the structure of 52,000-year-old genes hint at the biology of an extinct animal ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers ...

By editing the polymers of discarded plastics, chemists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a way to generate new macromolecules with more valuable properties than ...

The respiratory disease associated MUC5AC mucin structure shows how it interacts with other MUC5AC to form net-like polymers. The cryo-EM structure of the MUC5AC mucin shows how its linear form ...

When the researchers injected messenger RNA encoding this protein into mice, they found that it generated enough protein to protect cells’ DNA from ... containing both polymer and lipid ...

Besides the molecular weight of PEI, the mass ratio of polymer (in this case, PEI) to DNA is also known to change the size of the resulting particles. 24 The complexation kinetics were studied for ...

This Account highlights four key efforts from the Epps group and collaborators that established innovative methods/processes to synthesize polymers from lignin deconstruction ... development of ...
