A chemist and a collaborator have developed a new theory for explaining how proteins and other biomolecules function based on movement and change of shape and structure rather than content. A ...

Proteins are fundamental macromolecules for life, with a diversity of functions. To perform these functions, what matters is the layout of these proteins' secondary branches. Scientists have developed ...

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 ...

Despite widespread vaccination against whooping cough, the Bordetella bacteria continues to spread and infect vulnerable populations. A newly discovered Bordetella glycan, named b-Cool, was found to ...

Stanford researchers have discovered a new kind of biomolecule that could play a significant role in the biology of all living things. The novel biomolecule, dubbed glycoRNA, is a small ribbon of ...

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 ...
