They build our bodies and orchestrate the molecular processes in cells that keep them healthy. They also present a wealth of targets for new medications. From everyday pain relievers to sophisticated ...
Sample loss has been a persistent problem in cryo-EM, a high-tech method for creating 3D models of molecules that reveals their inner structures. It occurs during an essential step of imaging ...
Researchers at Google DeepMind have developed AlphaFold 3, an AI model that can predict the structure of and interactions between biological molecules including proteins, DNA and RNA, and small ...
A new map charts a landscape of smell and can predict odor based on a molecule’s structure (Science 2023, DOI: 10.1126/science.ade4401). Aromas are tricky to quantify and categorize. In vision, colors ...
Particles (encircled in green) are spaced at a distance from the noise surrounding the nanobeads (purple), which would otherwise obscure them. Sample loss has been a persistent problem in cryo-EM, a ...
In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.
