The functions of biomolecules, including lipids, nucleic acids and especially proteins are determined to a great extent by their structure. This structure–function relationship is a foundation of many ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have created a database that provides updated predicted structures on a ...

Proteins carry out many of an organism's critical functions, and they are coded for by genes. To make a protein from a gene, a cell first needs a copy of the gene in the form of a molecule called RNA.

RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change ...

Deep learning is solving biology’s deepest secrets at breathtaking speed. Just a month ago, DeepMind cracked a 50-year-old grand challenge: protein folding. A week later, they produced a totally ...

In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...

When one thinks of brain development, microbes in the gut may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But a growing body of research has shown that the many organisms like bacteria, viruses, and ...

The animated Google Doodle dives into DNA, the foundation of biology, which carries genetic instructions for all living ...

Researchers analyzed the role of NUDT5 and its interaction with other proteins in the folate pathway and in regulating purine synthesis.
