Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has profoundly reshaped our understanding of biomolecular structures by allowing the direct imaging of macromolecules in near-native states. This technique, which ...

Porphyrin complexes are macrocyclic compounds based on an aromatic framework composed of four pyrrole subunits linked by methine bridges. This highly conjugated system can coordinate a broad range of ...

Yuan He aims to understand how cells read and repair their genomes. His research encompasses two primary areas: transcription, in which genetic information is copied from DNA into messenger RNA, and ...

Upstate New York has a thriving structural biology community. That was the clear take-home message from the first Western New York Structural Biology Collaborative Symposium, held Aug. 6 at the UB ...

Two key protein structures in the body are being visualized for the first time, thanks in part to the latest technology in the University of Cincinnati’s Center for Advanced Structural Biology — ...

"The protein folding problem--the way in which unfolded proteins manage to reach their native, three-dimensional, functional form--has become a central focus for many scientists," declares Walter ...
