ROCKVILLE, MD—The Biophysical Society confirmed Tuesday that it has spent its entire $14,000 annual advertising budget on a single advertisement on the side of a Washington, D.C., Metrobus that reads ...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly accelerating scientific output, but risks narrowing inquiry, weakening judgement and undermining how scientists are trained.

Abstract. Natural products are complex chemical molecules produced by organisms to carry out a wide range of functions. The remarkable chemical diversity of these compounds arises from the diversity o...

Cells maintain membrane function by actively balancing the molecular shape of their lipids. Milshteyn et al. find that, when subjected to high hydrostatic pressure, yeast and human cells, but not bact...

A host lipid flips a viral protein’s shape to control membrane remodeling during virus replication.

James Sáenz studies how fatty molecules might have helped life get started

The emergence of a chemical system capable of self-replication and evolution is a critical event in the origin of life. RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but their large size and structural ...
