Researchers have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage -- phage for short -- that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the ...

A novel antiviral targeting the SARS-CoV-2 PLpro protease shows strong efficacy in a mouse model, preventing lung pathology and reducing brain dysfunction. The study provides proof-of-principle ...

THERE has been considerable discussion during the past thirty years or so about the shape and in particular about the planarity of the fluorene molecule. If the molecule is not flat, then there is ...

Producers who rely on near-infrared spectroscopy to analyse forages such as mixed herbal leys, bi-crops and wholecrop legumes could be overfeeding or ...

has uncovered a surprising role for calcium in shaping life's earliest molecular structures. Their findings suggest that calcium ions can selectively influence how primitive polymers form ...

A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo has uncovered a surprising role for calcium in shaping life's earliest molecular structures.

Non-Commercial (NC): Only non-commercial uses of the work are permitted. Starch and cellulose are pivotal determinants of tobacco quality. In this work, starch and cellulose in flue-cured tobacco leaf ...

How you eat your resistant starch foods matters. That's because heat can affect the structure of starch molecules. For example, “when you cook a potato, heat opens up the starch granule and ...

protein content and structure, and (iv) chemical residues. The proposed Raman algorithms directly link to the molecular composition of grains and allow fast/non-destructive determination of key ...
