The team determined the first crystal structure for a neuropeptide Y receptor, deciphering the thousands of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and other atoms involved with it and how they bind to one another

Researchers unlocked a novel strategy for synthesizing a highly versatile molecule called olympicene—a compound of carbon and hydrogen atoms named for its familiar shape

These structures are embedded in an ink which is similar to their native environment and opens the possibility to make them behave as they would in the body

The complex, known as OST, is a key player in protein glycosylation, a wide-spread cell process that is intimately linked to numerous functions in the human body

The algorithm can accurately predict the interactions between a protein and a drug molecule based on a handful of reference experiments or simulations

New manufacturing technique overcomes half-century of failed attempts

Physicists have developed a reliable strategy to separate chemically identical macromolecules that differ only in their shape

Scripps researchers have designed a bacterium with two unnatural bases, called X and Y, which could someday help them produce new molecules for medical therapies

These biophysical descriptions are expected to clarify the TCR microcluster, an essential assembly for a T cell to initiate its attack on a pathogen

By using a technique that combines electricity and chemistry, future pharmaceuticals may soon be easily scaled up to be manufactured in a more sustainable way
