A giant x-ray microscope from the UK national synchrotron facility revealed the structure and dynamics of a protein called CshA, which is apparently involved in the progression of infective ...

Bacteria can be crafty little critters, and a new study from the University of Bristol has unveiled another example of that. Usually a harmless resident of your mouth, Streptococcus gordonii can turn ...

A group of researchers from Canada’s University of Western Ontario has developed and tested 3D-printed mounting mechanisms for the wood racking of PV modules. The open-source designs, aside from ...

The core mechanism of intracellular vesicle fusion consists of SNAREpin zippering between vesicular and target membranes. Recent studies indicate that the same SNARE-binding protein, complexin (CPX), ...

Researchers have discovered a molecular 'clamping' mechanism within a male-specific protein-DNA complex whose mutation causes sex reversal: children with XY chromosomes but female bodies, a condition ...
