Viruses and their hosts—whether bacteria, animals, or humans—are locked in a constant evolutionary arms race. Cells evolve ...

Nucleotide excision repair is a process that repairs damage to one strand of the DNA, particularly from UV irradiation, which distorts the DNA helix. The DNA flanking the damage site is cleaved to ...

Nucleotide-binding proteins are proteins that bind to nucleotides. For example, kinases bind adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and G proteins bind guanosine triphosphate (GTP). Other nucleotide-binding ...

This study provides useful insights into addressing the question of whether the prevalence of autoimmune disease could be driven by sex differences in the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire, correlating ...

Evo’s success wasn’t limited to proteins. When they tested a different toxin that had an RNA-based inhibitor, the system ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...

Using 150 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers across 252 tea accessions from India and China, researchers identified ...

Space communications expert, Alexandra Doten, has explained what the discovery of a gum-like substance on an asteroid 63 ...

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery on asteroid Bennu, after a NASA spacecraft returned samples taken from it to ...
