A study in fruit flies suggests an internal genomic arms race may be driving rapid evolution in proteins that still perform an essential, unchanging job: protecting chromosome ends.

For nearly a century, biologists have relied on a simple rule to predict how microbes grow when food is scarce, a rule that ...

An Australian researcher went undercover to learn more about how Broscience experiments with dangerous drugs — and found a ...

Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are proteins triggered by ligands (protein-binding chemicals) from outside cells to ...

Artificial intelligence has just helped virologists pull off something that used to take years of trial and error: crippling a virus by changing a single molecular contact point. Instead of screening ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

Filoviruses get their name from the Latin word "filum," meaning thread-a reference to their long, filamentous shape. This virus family contains some of the most dangerous pathogens known to science, ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

Cow's milk has 8 grams of protein per cup. Goat's milk has 9 grams of protein per cup, slightly more than cow's milk. Sheep's milk is the highest in protein with 14.7 grams per cup. Milk is high in ...
