Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics.

An international research team led by Konrad Meister from Boise State University’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research has identified a new class ...

Complementary biochemical and structural findings reveal molecular principles underlying substrate selectivity by a model hyaluronan synthase.

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics. Many ...

The arterial vasculature is the second most frequently calcified structure in the human body after the skeleton. Calcification of the aorta and aortic valves occurs in most individuals in westernized ...

A 2026 consumer research report examining the Medicinal Garden Kit, the "backyard pharmacy" herbal gardening concept, traditional medicinal plant uses referenced in the product's marketing, and how ...

We all have a concept of reality. We know what is “fact” and what isn’t. However, the truth of the matter is that the definition of “real” is a mere construct of the brain. If that didn’t blow your ...

Water quality testing benefits from measuring particle size and shape together, improving identification of contaminants in water samples.

We often hear about bacteria, but what exactly are they? A bacterium is a living organism that consists of a single cell (unicellular). It has ...

Scientists are increasingly pointing to everyday ultra-processed foods as a quiet threat to the gut, linking industrial additives and re-engineered textures to measurable damage in the microbiome. New ...
