Enzymes are proteins – large molecules that do the behind-the-scenes work that keep all living things alive. These proteins are made up of amino acids, a set of building blocks that can be stitched ...

Scientists have created the first-ever 3D maps of star-forming molecular clouds near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, ...

Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the attention of scientists ...

Myosin II plays the most important role in cellular force generation. Myosin II molecules self-assemble into filaments with different structures depending on myosin II isoforms and other conditions ...

A class of synthetic soft materials called liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) can change shape in response to heat, similar to ...

"We can estimate the sizes of the molecular structures that we do not see in ... these observations place key constraints on the global geometry of our galaxy's center as well as the past flaring ...

Scientists have developed a framework for precisely controlling 3D-printed liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), materials that ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and ... and can be designed for use in molecular computation, diagnostics, and transport.
