When bacteria reproduce their chromosome pairs and the DNA contained within them must separate and then faithfully reproduce copies of themselves.
Protein therapies are often more potent and selective toward their biochemical targets than other types of drugs, particularly small molecules.
Researchers have found that fishing behavior of Nebraska anglers may be less unpredictable than originally thought, with seven fishing spots in the state seeing little variation from spring to fall.
Analysis of patients with rare condition uncovers key pathway for human development.
In a recent paper published in Nature, researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria, Klosterneuburg, Austria, led by professor Leonid Sazanov, determined the entire structure of F1Fo ATP synthase – the mammalian mitochondrial ATPase that generates ATP.
