Antibiotics are substances that inhibit the growth of bacteria. They work by killing bacteria or preventing their reproduction, and may be synthesized chemically or by naturally-occurring or ...

Protein design (or protein engineering) is a technique by which proteins with enhanced or novel functional properties are created. Proteins can be engineered by rational design, which typically ...

Here they establish an O-glycoproteome map of the mouse testis, providing insights and resources for future functional studies targeting O-glycosylation dysregulation in male infertility.

Pure mathematics uses mathematics to explore abstract ideas, mathematics that does not necessarily describe a real physical system. This can include developing the fundamental tools used by ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the nucleic acid polymer that forms the genetic code for a cell or virus. Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each ...

Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...

Quantum mechanics is the study of the dynamics of particles at its most fundamental level. The state of a particle, such as its position or momentum, is described by a statistical distribution ...

Biosensors are devices used to detect the presence or concentration of a biological analyte, such as a biomolecule, a biological structure or a microorganism. Biosensors consist of three parts: a ...

Immunoglobulins sample vast swathes of primary sequence and conformational space to generate and select B cell clones with exquisite selectivity and affinity for specific antigens. This ...

Jacob Barnett was just a child when his parents, Michael and Kristine Barnett, decided to adopt Natalia Grace, a six-year-old Ukrainian native. However, shortly after she entered their lives, she ...

micro RNAs (miRNAs) are a type of non-coding RNA (ncRNA), ~21 24 nucleotides in length, that function in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Typically miRNAs interact with ...

SOON after the occupation of Egypt by a British military force in 1882, the late Prof. Huxley, then president of the Royal Society, directed attention to the valuable opportunity that was afforded ...
