These chains come in a wide range of lengths. In humans a typical protein is about 400 amino acids long; some are a lot longer. Molecules of RNA, one of the two nucleic acids, can reach up to 100,000 ...

Medical molecular engineering harnesses cutting‐edge techniques to design, modify and integrate nucleic acids and proteins for advanced diagnostics and therapeutics. By applying principles from ...

Scientists have designed a way to 'cloak' proteins in a generalized technique that could lead to repurposing things like antibodies for biological research and therapeutic applications. Cornell ...

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II can be used to create high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and ...

When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all living things. The compounds in these acids could inhibit the growth of cancer cells, according to findings published in PLOS ONE by ...

Cancer cells are known to reawaken embryonic genes to grow. A new study reveals the disease also hijacks the proteins, or ...

Scientists from CNRS have developed new stable and effective messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences that enable cells to produce therapeutic proteins themselves, capable of inducing antibody ...
