Protein structure and dynamics are intimately linked with biological activity. Understanding the physical basis for this activity requires knowledge of the equilibrium and kinetic properties of the ...

Protein folding is a critical process by which linear chains of amino acids adopt specific three‐dimensional conformations essential for biological function. In recent years, studies have increasingly ...

The way in which that linear sequence of genes are packed into the nucleus determines which genes come into physical contact with each other, which in turn influences gene expression. Engineers have ...

A highly sophisticated folding mechanism employed by a group of insects for at least 280 million years is set to become available for a wide range of applications, thanks to a design method developed ...

Japanese scientists have figured out how ladybugs fold their wings by transplanting a transparent artificial wing onto the insect and observing its underlying folding mechanism. The study's findings, ...
