“They had no idea of their structure. Yet they predicted their ... In trying to find a molecule that would inhibit NaV1.8, one might surmise that likely compounds would have shapes similar ...

The molecular structure of CO is unusual ... and others synthesized and isolated the molecule. Early reports in the chemical literature from 1878 included such titles as “On the luminosity of benzol ...

The structure of the BAX protein ... “We were thrilled to find a small molecule that targets a killer protein called BAX and stops it working,” said co-corresponding author and the Head ...

A previous study suggested that the FDA-approved small molecule pimozide might inhibit TWIK-2. Using a reconstituted system, we show that pimozide directly inhibits the channel and we determine a cryo ...

“Not only can it downsize future electronic devices, but its structure could also enable functions that were not even possible with silicon-based materials.” Wang means that the molecule’s abilities ...

Wu discussed his lab’s recent work using single-molecule imaging techniques to visualize the ... sizes and translation factor sequences that alter the mRNA’s secondary structure and the ability of ...

To determine the precise structure of a new molecule, Freedman’s team uses software to analyze and process visualizations (such as those in teal and pink above) of data collected by an x-ray ...

One of these drug candidates, AVI-4516, is shown (center) bound to the active site of MPro (surrounding grey structure), where it prevents MPro from functioning. Credit: Verba Lab. Ateam at UC San ...

I’ve long been fascinated by investigations into our solar system’s first known interloper, a cigar-shaped structure called ‘Oumuamua whose origins remain elusive. Now, however, astronomers ...

Sebastian Valenzuela, a doctoral student at Sahlgrenska Academy, has analyzed the molecule's structure, including by means of cryo-electron microscopy. "We demonstrate exactly where the molecule ...

A medical breakthrough could result in the first treatment for rare but serious diseases in which genetic defects disrupt cellular energy production. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg ...
