E1s and E2s first work generically across the cell to activate and prepare ubiquitin for attachment. E3 ligases then ensure that the tag is added to the right protein; as such, hundreds of specific ...

Each cell of the human body contains two meters of DNA. The whole secret lies in the intricate three-dimensional arrangement that allows DNA strands to be efficiently organized and compacted within ...

In a groundbreaking study, scientists developed new ways to control atom collisions using optical tweezers, offering insights ...

Respiratory diseases are a challenging problem to treat. Inhalable medicines are a promising solution that depend on the ability to deliver tiny particles known as aerosols to the correct location in ...

The non-descript, pill-shaped cell is why we understand fundamental life processes (think DNA replication and transcription).
