Atomic-level simulations reveal new class of protein misfolding in high definition
Recently identified and long-lasting type of protein misfolding—non-native entanglements—observed in all-atom protein folding simulations. Representative misfolded conformations of the small proteins, Ubiquitin and λ-repressor, exhibit […]
Engineer teams up with renowned poet to encode poetry into a ‘deathless bacterium’
The bacterium deinococcus radiodurans was engineered to light up red when it is “reading” the poems. Credit: The University of Texas at Austin Greek doctor […]
Scientists build an ‘evolution engine’ to rapidly reprogram proteins
Schematic of the T7-ORACLE system. The genome is maintained by the non-mutagenic host replisome (gray), while an orthogonal T7 replisome (red) maintains only a dedicated […]
Molecular imaging tech measures forces in living cells with nanometer-level precision
Decoy DNA enhances super-resolution and extends the duration of live-cell molecular tension imaging. Credit: Angewandte Chemie International Edition (2025). DOI: 10.1002/anie.202506590 Together, these two breakthroughs […]
