Scientists continue to make surprising discoveries in our own bodies. Stanford researchers have now discovered a new biomolecule hiding in plain sight, which may be common to most types of life and ...

Proteins are fundamental macromolecules for life, with a diversity of functions. To perform these functions, what matters is the layout of these proteins' secondary branches. Scientists have developed ...

A chemist and a collaborator have developed a new theory for explaining how proteins and other biomolecules function based on movement and change of shape and structure rather than content. A ...

Stanford researchers have discovered a new kind of biomolecule that could play a significant role in the biology of all living things. The novel biomolecule, dubbed glycoRNA, is a small ribbon of ...

Despite widespread vaccination against whooping cough, the Bordetella bacteria continues to spread and infect vulnerable populations. A newly discovered Bordetella glycan, named b-Cool, was found to ...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a uniquely powerful method to interrogate biomolecules at high resolution because it enables scientists to study proteins, oligonucleotides and ribonucleic acid ...

Xavier Conlan does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

One of the great counterintuitive puzzles of quantum mechanics is wave-particle duality. This is the phenomenon in which objects behave both like particles and like waves. Numerous experiments have ...
