DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

The kinesin-2 motor protein uses a hook-like adaptor and cargo-binding (HAC) domain to recognize and transport cargo along microtubule highways, revealing a cellular logistics system critical for ...

Scientists have long known that inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or motor neuron disease, can be traced back to genetic mutations. However, how they cause the ...

Protein sequencing presents different challenges than nucleic acid sequencing, meaning that proteomics has yet to benefit as much as genomics from the next-generation sequencing revolution. However, ...

Most of us will probably be able to recall at least vaguely that a molecule called ATP is essential for making our bodies move, but this molecule is only a small part of a much larger system. Although ...
