The evolutionary path to first proteins may have been paved with relatively easy, small square-dance steps

A team of NYU chemists has created a series of three-dimensional structures that take a step closer to resembling those found in nature

The new computational model may help explain that gap in the evolution of chemistry into biology

Researchers have discovered that some of the carbohydrates in human milk not only possess antibacterial properties of their own but also enhance the effectiveness of the antibacterial proteins also present

Broad inadequacies in a widespread biological concept that affects cancer research could be significantly deflecting the aim of such targeted drugs, according to a new study

Drug zeroes in on mutated nuclear receptors found in cancer, leaves normal proteins alone

Since the synaptonemal complex was first discovered in 1956, researchers have been trying to identify its many moving parts and how they fit together

How a new technique allows researchers to tune communication between organelles on the scale of nanometers

The findings, published July 27 in Cell, reveal for the first time components of a G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) named rhodopsin bound to a signaling molecule called arrestin, both crucial pieces of the body’s intricate cellular communication network

NIH-funded study results suggest more complex gene interactions and regulation
