An international team including researchers from MIPT has shown that iodide phasing—a long-established technique in structural biology—is universally applicable to membrane protein structure ...

Without biomolecules no life: In each cell of an organism, legions of minute machines are working to e.g. transport oxygen, utilize nutrients, or repair damage of genetic information. Functioning of ...

Knowing the detailed shape of biomolecules such as proteins is essential for biological studies and drug discovery. Modern structural biology relies on techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance ...

The structure of a biomolecule can reveal much about its functioning and interaction with the surrounding environment. The double-helical structure of DNA and its implications for the processes of ...

An international team including researchers from MIPT has shown that iodide phasing--a long-established method in structural biology--is universally applicable to membrane protein structure ...

Some molecules change their spatial structure when exposed to light -- in other words, they look different in light and darkness. What exactly happens during the conversion has not yet been researched ...

Google DeepMind, Google LLC’s artificial intelligence research unit, today detailed a new version of its AlphaFold neural network for biologists. One of the factors that influence the behavior of a ...

One of the great counterintuitive puzzles of quantum mechanics is wave-particle duality. This is the phenomenon in which objects behave both like particles and like waves. Numerous experiments have ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A patented method for single biomolecule detection that overcomes limitations of current technologies may help in the fight against COVID-19. Purdue University innovators ...
