Ubiquitin’s ability to label synthetic compounds offers a new path to discover drugs
Small but powerful: Ubiquitin controls the lifespan and distribution of proteins in the cell, but it can also determine their ...
Scientists build modules for a synthetic cell
It's one of the most fundamental questions in science: how can lifeless molecules come together to form a living cell? ...
A synthetic molecular switch allows “painting” with natural light
Liquid crystals exist in a phase of their own. They can flow like liquids, but because their molecules are arranged ...
