With structural knowledge available of the over 80,000 macromolecular crystal structures recorded in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) 1, it should be feasible to solve the 'crystallographic phase problem' ...

The equilibrium distributions of hairpin ribozyme conformational isomers have been examined by time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Ribozymes partition between active (docked) and ...

Tertiary lymphoid structures are formations that occur outside of the lymphatic system. They contain immune cells and are similar in structure and function to lymph nodes and other lymphoid structures ...

Information about the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins is obtained by monitoring molecular vibrations using Raman spectroscopy. Dynamic light scattering or DLS helps in determining the ...

The origins of modern structural biology date back to the 1910s, when the German physicist Max von Laue discovered that biological crystal samples irradiated with X-rays produced diffraction patterns ...

RNA is a single stranded molecule containing a ribose sugar. It has a distinctive structure and, unlike DNA, there are variations and various types of RNA structures. A base is attached to the 1' ...
