Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

A recent study led by Paul DeCaen, Ph.D., associate professor of Pharmacology, has identified novel molecular mechanisms by ...

Molecular chaperones play a pivotal role in ensuring proper cellular protein homeostasis through their involvement in protein ...

Mitochondria are the body's "energy factories," and their proper function is essential for life. Inside mitochondria, a set of complexes called the oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) system acts like ...

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors.

Scientists mapped the bacterial flagellum in atomic detail, revealing it as a target to disarm infections without killing ...

Surfactants, which comprise hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions, self-organize to form complex molecular assemblies such as micelles, emulsions, and vesicles. This self-organization is responsible for ...

The ability to directly witness this molecular assembly process, rather than inferring it from indirect measurements, provides unambiguous evidence for how supramolecular gelation truly occurs.
