Octopuses pump blue blood through three separate hearts, a biological arrangement that depends entirely on copper rather than ...

Dr Yeung was presented with the prize at the spring meeting of the British Crystallography Association (BCA) for his work on understanding the formation of functional materials, known as metal–organic ...

One longstanding problem has sidelined life-saving drugs, stalled next-generation batteries, and kept archaeologists from identifying the origins of ancient artifacts. For more than 100 years, ...

Quantum crystallography methods have been employed to investigate complex formation between nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, with particular focus on the ...

CORRECTION: This story was updated on Sept. 13, 2013, to correct errors: The computers used by Kendrew’s and Perutz’ teams were one-off machines built at the University of Cambridge, called EDSAC-1 ...

Vaccine adjuvants have evolved significantly since their inception, transitioning from empirical discovery to a more structured approach grounded in rational drug design. The origin of vaccine ...

In its earlier days, Google relied heavily on plain text data and backlinks to establish rankings through periodic monthly refreshes (then known as the Google Dance). Since those days, Google Search ...

Materials are made of tiny crystallites and non-crystallites; the former gives distinct patterns on interaction with X-rays, as the X-ray wavelength is identical to the inter-atomic spacing in ...

In their folded state, biomolecules exchange between multiple conformational states that are crucial for their function. Traditional structural biology methods, such as X-ray crystallography and ...

Researchers from the University of Southampton have developed technology to help scientists observe proteins in motion. Understanding how proteins move will allow novel drugs to be designed. X-ray ...
