You should have this plant powerhouse in your pantry.

Comprising close to 50 percent of total body weight in lean individuals, skeletal (or striated) muscle constitutes the largest single component of the body and serves as the major repository of ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

Using nanopore DNA sequencing technology, researchers have managed to scan a single protein: by slowly moving a linearized protein through a tiny nanopore, one amino acid at the time, the researchers ...

This research was supported by the University of Bristol Bob Savage Memorial Fund and the Leverhulme Trust (PLP-2012-116). As a scientist, lab work can sometimes get monotonous. But in 2017, while a ...
