Complex reflection groups, generalisations of classical real reflection groups, constitute a rich class of groups generated by linear transformations that fix hyperplanes in complex space. Their ...

Improvements in three-dimensional (3D) scanning have enabled quick and accurate scanning of 3D objects, including cultural heritage objects, as 3D point cloud data. However, conventional ...

When active filaments are exposed to localized illumination, they accumulate into stable structures along the boundaries of the illuminated area. Based on this fact, researchers developed a model that ...

In an ambitious collaboration, researchers added 1.8 million high-confidence protein complex structure predictions to the AlphaFold Database, accelerating molecular biology research.

The first full-length structures of two heat shock chaperone proteins in a complex reveal the key structural region regulating their function, according to a new study from St. Jude Children's ...

Drugs to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases - such as asthma, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis or Chrousos syndrome - act mainly through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). This essential protein ...

At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA molecules. DNA is a molecule found in just about every living cell. Because ...

When chemists design drug candidates, shape matters enormously. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients contain branched ...

Toward the goal of efficient editing of farm animals for genetic improvements, this study explores an upgraded form of nuclease PE (uPEn). Based on the resolved structure of the NiV polymerase L-P ...
