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 ...

Deep learning is solving biology’s deepest secrets at breathtaking speed. Just a month ago, DeepMind cracked a 50-year-old grand challenge: protein folding. A week later, they produced a totally ...

For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers applied ...

In synthetic and structural biology, advances in artificial intelligence have led to an explosion of designing new proteins ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...

When one thinks of brain development, microbes in the gut may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But a growing body of research has shown that the many organisms like bacteria, viruses, and ...

This semester, the Office of Biology Undergraduate Education introduced a new dual-advising structure for biology and health and human biology concentrators. Each student will now be assigned two ...

With support from the National Institutes of Health, the COBRE Center for RNA Biology in Health and Disease will create a ...
