As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds—ticks.

Researchers have described proteins that they say are among the most ancient ever sequenced. Two teams, which analysed ...

Aliphatic carbonyls widely exist in source emissions and the atmosphere, serving as secondary organic aerosol (SOA) precursors. Molecular structure including carbon number and functional groups ...

Polydiacetylenes (PDAs) possess dramatic chromatic transitions, which can be exploited to make stimuli-responsive sensors. Key to developing robust sensors is understanding the changes in molecular ...

The structure showed 12 transmembrane helices in two pseudo-symmetric bundles and two periplasmic subdomains. Experiments showed that the coiled-coil domain, whose predicted model extends from one of ...
