The functions of biomolecules, including lipids, nucleic acids and especially proteins are determined to a great extent by their structure. This structure–function relationship is a foundation of many ...
Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but necessary to explain cosmology. Astronomy, however, isn't the only field with ...
A team of researchers led by HHMI Investigator Michael Rosen has captured the most detailed images yet of the molecules in chromatin condensates — droplet-like structures of compacted DNA. Inside ...
Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus about one-tenth as wide as a human hair while making sure the all-important ...
A team of researchers led by HHMI Investigator Michael Rosen has captured the most detailed images yet of the molecules in synthetic chromatin condensates — droplet-like structures of compacted DNA.
