When fast-moving ions cross paths with large biomolecules, the resulting collisions produce many low-energy electrons which can go on to ionise the molecules even further. To fully understand how ...

Aging used to be treated as inevitable—something that just happened with time. But modern science is flipping that narrative, ...

The Adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) proteins are core metabolic proteins which exchange ATP/ADP between the mitochondria and cell to support cellular energy production. However, ANT proteins are ...

This image illustrates the chemical structure of a purine molecule, highlighting the numbering of the carbon and nitrogen atoms. The purine structure consists of a pyrimidine ring (positions 1 to 6) ...

To make a gene-editing tool more precise and easier to control, engineers split it into two pieces that only come back together when a third molecule is added. To make a gene-editing tool more precise ...

The normal functioning of kidneys requires high levels of energy and kidney disease is characterized by a disruption of that energy metabolism. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a molecule ...

Researchers have successfully determined the characteristics of electron emission when high-velocity ions collide with adenine - one of the four key nucleobases of DNA. Researchers have successfully ...
