Researchers use cryo-EM and optical tweezers to investigate how an antiviral interacts with the herpes simplex virus.

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has revolutionalized our understanding of the intricate molecular machinery that governs life. It has elucidated the three-dimensional (3D) structure of biological ...

Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a new study challenges that notion, revealing an unexpected confirmation in ...

Structural biology is used to understand the three-dimensional shape of biological molecules and how their shape enables them to function both inside and outside of cells. Furthermore, the ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps explain how these tumors resist environmental stress and thrive in acidic, low ...

Over the past decade, structural biology has been profoundly transformed by advances in computational power, algorithmic ...

A joint research team from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory has achieved precise control and real-time observation of ...
