A new method of selectively binding proteins to nanoparticles has been described by a team of German and Chinese researchers headed by Prof. Bart Jan Ravoo, a chemist at the "Center for Soft ...

Scientists have discovered a novel method for studying the DNA binding of small molecules with unprecedented accuracy. Because molecules that bind through intercalation (a type of binding) may ...

A pA-Tn5 probe (multicoloured) binds an antibody (white), which binds a transcription factor binding domain (green) on DNA (blue) within 2 nucleosomes. The binding of proteins to DNA is crucial for ...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) first arose in China, before spreading to nearly every country in the world. It has led to multiple health and economic crises, and the overall death toll is above ...

A pair of recent papers helps clear up a longstanding mystery about the enzyme particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO). The enzyme sits in the membranes of bacteria that consume methane as their main ...

New types of membrane adsorbers remove unwanted particles from water and also, at the same time, dissolved substances such as the hormonally active bisphenol A or toxic lead. To do this, researchers ...

'Key-and-lock recognition' through co-assembling points of contact on a nanoscale / Potential for diagnostics, imaging and active ingredients in medicines A new method of selectively binding proteins ...
