Imagine trying to design a key for a lock that is constantly changing its shape. That is the exact challenge we face in ...
A pore smaller than one nanometer reads peptide sequences amino acid by amino acid, pinpointing single-site Alzheimer's ...
It's a dogma taught in every introductory biology class: Proteins are composed of combinations of 20 different amino acids, arranged into diverse sequences like words. But researchers trying to ...

What the research is about Do you remember playing on a seesaw in the park as a child? When one side goes up, the other ...
Protein sequencing presents different challenges than nucleic acid sequencing, meaning that proteomics has yet to benefit as much as genomics from the next-generation sequencing revolution. However, ...
Inspired by the simple mechanism of a seesaw—when one side goes up, the other side goes down—researchers asked an intriguing question: Could a single molecule switch between two different roles like a ...
New scientific theory based on ancient proteins suggests that genes did not arise as we believed and that life could have started elsewhere.
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 ...
