Scientists continue to make surprising discoveries in our own bodies. Stanford researchers have now discovered a new biomolecule hiding in plain sight, which may be common to most types of life and ...

Knowing the detailed shape of biomolecules such as proteins is essential for biological studies and drug discovery. Modern structural biology relies on techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance ...

Proteins are fundamental macromolecules for life, with a diversity of functions. To perform these functions, what matters is the layout of these proteins' secondary branches. Scientists have developed ...

Stanford researchers have discovered a new kind of biomolecule that could play a significant role in the biology of all living things. The novel biomolecule, dubbed glycoRNA, is a small ribbon of ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- University of Pittsburgh scientists have isolated a biomolecule that "completely and specifically" neutralizes the virus that causes coronavirus. University of Pittsburgh School ...

Despite widespread vaccination against whooping cough, the Bordetella bacteria continues to spread and infect vulnerable populations. A newly discovered Bordetella glycan, named b-Cool, was found to ...

Aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) offer a versatile and sustainable platform for the extraction, separation and purification of biomolecules. These systems, typically composed of water-soluble polymers ...

(Nanowerk News) Biomacromolecules incorporated into tailored metal–organic frameworks using peptide modulators are well shielded but highly active thanks to carefully tuned nanoarchitecture. As ...

Biological drugs (biologics), such as antibodies, proteins, and viruses, are some of the most effective modern disease treatments. These therapeutics are manufactured in cells, so they run the risk of ...

ADELPHI, Md. -- Army scientists have discovered how to build novel synthetic biomolecule complexes that they believe are a critical step towards biotemplated advanced materials. Their work was ...

Just a decade ago, experimental work by Guerrier, Flayeux, and Boschetti demonstrated the ability of sodium chloride (NaCl) gradients on hydroxyapatite (HA) to remove aggregates from IgG preparations.
