Formation of multicomponent macromolecular complexes is an essential feature of almost every aspect of cell function. Complex formation is governed by the chemical principles of kinetics and ...

Our biological processes rely on a system of communications — cellular signals — that set off chain reactions in and between target cells to produce a response. The first step in these often complex ...

Cooperative binding effects pervade biology. Only a few basic principles are at play, but in different biological contexts cooperativity appears in distinct guises to achieve different ends. Here I ...

Hydrophobic interactions is one major type of intermolecular force that plays a vital role in many life processes in Chemistry and Physics. In biological systems, hydrophobic interactions can ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract What distinguishes a man from a mouse is not so much different proteins, but rather the appearance of common proteins (etc.) at different ...

The affinity of guanidinium and Cu(II) containing hosts for polycarboxylate guests is studied in water by using UV-visible spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry. By combining a Cu(II) ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

In a breakthrough, scientists overcame designed an innovative microfluidic mixer that monitors the fluorescence induced by hydrophobic aggregation. This scientific advance not only allows the ...
