Watching proteins move as they drive the chemical reactions that sustain life is one of the grand challenges of modern ...

Tianren Zhang, Yao Tang and professor Darrin Pochan developed protein-based building blocks, called bundlemers, for advanced ...

A drop of concentrated seawater water dives straight into milk. The heavier brine sinks, pulling water out of the milk. Proteins can’t handle the salt shock. Hours later, salt crystals sparkle at the ...

The secret to flawless meal prep is to make sure every ingredient still tastes fresh. To make that happen, you'll need to ...

The authors’ approach is deceptively simple: take an aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme, which naturally converts aldehydes to acids, and get it to react with an amine instead of water. But actually making ...

Stopping Alzheimer’s may begin with dissolving tiny tau protein clusters before damage takes hold.

Tau protein fibrillization mirrors polymer crystallization. The pathway taken as tau proteins form fibrils is very similar to the pathway taken by polymers as they crystallize. Tokyo, Japan – ...

Dr. Lynch is a quantitative and computational scientist focused on applications in structural biology and image analysis. Her work focuses on how we can use imaging methods to better detect and ...

Abstract: We present a novel concept of microfluidic system that enable promoting the protein crystal nucleation, monitoring the protein crystallization state, and analysis the crystal structure in a ...
