Living systems are composed of networks of interacting biopolymers, ions and metabolites. These components drive a complex array of cellular processes, many of which cannot be observed when the ...

Chemists have developed new tools to modify sulfur-containing biomolecules, from simple amino acids to large protein complexes such as nucleosomes. These modifications then provide attachment points ...

An image of biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, lipids and proteins, in live cells using an imaging technique called infrared (IR) transmission microscopy. To accelerate biotechnology innovations, ...

A microscopy technique that tracks individual biomolecules in solution—and generates an accurate readout of their mass—could offer biologists a powerful new tool to investigate processes such as the ...

Scientists captured clear images of biomolecules in single live cells in water for the first time using infrared (IR) transmission imaging. The IR technique enables researchers to measure the mass of ...

Cell lysis refers to the process of breaking down the cell membrane to release cellular contents, including proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. Protein extraction is the subsequent step ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. The answer to that is there's a chemical middleman. It's a class of biomolecules, whose main job is to ...

This seminar with Prof Mikhail Shapiro (Max Delbrück Professor of Chemical Engineering & Medical Engineering, Caltech; Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute; Distinguished Chair, ESPCI 2024-5) ...

This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to researchers who made it possible to see proteins and other biomolecules at an atomic level of detail. Seeing is believing, but for creatures as visually ...

If you were to use infrared (IR) transmission microscopy, you would appreciate its chemical quantification abilities—unless your object of study was a hydrated cell. In that case, you might complain ...
