Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in ...

Conversion without transition metals In order to activate small molecules and convert them into more complex compounds, it is usually necessary to utilise certain metals that are known as transition ...

Monitoring small molecules depends on sensing where they are, and in what concentrations. While scientists have developed sensors to detect some small molecules, these sensors are used primarily in ...

The process of identifying promising small molecule drug candidates that target cancer checkpoints may become faster and smarter through virtual screening, according to Weill Cornell Medicine ...

A version of this story appeared in Volume 101, Issue 36 Not too long ago, these small-molecule drugs looked as if they were going out of fashion. Advances in biotechnology enabled pharmaceutical ...

In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers assessed the capability of two small molecules of disintegrating alpha-synuclein fibrils. Parkinson's ...

Adding a small molecule, dubbed a “molecular midwife,” researchers increased the rate of DNA formation in a chemical reaction 1,000 fold over a similar reaction lacking a midwife. The discovery is an ...

A new research effort is accelerating imaging techniques to visualize structures of small molecules clearly -- a process once thought impossible. Their discovery unleashes endless potential in ...

A common mineral, α-alumina, found abundantly in Earth's crust, may have played a critical role in initiating the chemical reactions necessary for life to begin. This exciting discovery, detailed in a ...
