In the United States, more than seven million people seek emergency care for chest pain each year. However, the vast majority of these cases are not caused by a heart or lung condition. Tightness in ...

A consortium of researchers with multidisciplinary skills, coordinated by INRAE and including the CNRS, the Université ...

Historically, small molecule drugs have been precisely designed down to the atomic scale. Considering their relatively large complex structures, nanomedicines have lagged behind. Researchers argue ...

However, it has not been clear yet how exactly this protein interacts with its ligands and whether its structure changes depending on the type of molecule being transported. However, it is known ...

This structure has two helical chains each coiled round the same axis (see diagram). We have made the usual chemical assumptions, namely, that each chain consists of phosphate di-ester groups ...

Chemical insight into biological function is the holy grail of structural biology. Small molecules are central players as building blocks, effectors and probes of macromolecular structure and ...

New research spotlights the habenula, a tiny but powerful brain region, as a key player in addiction, motivation, and emotional regulation.
