Cyclic transcription is a hallmark of the cell cycle. While transcriptional waves in eukaryotes are driven by oscillations in cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) activity, many archaea have an ordered cell ...

The protein design field is getting pushed forward by human experts in protein design, who would have thought

The US science-funding agency is withholding $1 billion of its budget so that the money can go to a special White House project.

Knowledge of the physical interactions of proteins provides mechanistic understanding of their function. Here, the authors develop a machine learning classifier through the integration of 25,000 prote...

Science sleuth’s findings raise questions for researchers working to improve the reliability of commercial antibodies.

“Everyone will be affected, not just scientists. Every community in the country.“

Cole Donovan, Director of Policy at the SUFS Foundation, breaks down how OMB’s grant rule will undermine U.S. research, weaken international collaboration, and threaten American scientific leadership.

The OMB proposal threatens scientific research and ALL federal funding for states, cities, and nonprofits. It politicizes ALL funding. Call your reps and write an objection.

Transcription in chloroplasts depends on the Plastid-Encoded RNA polymerase (PEP), a bacterial-derived enzyme whose catalytic core remains encoded by the highly reduced genome inherited from the cyano...
