Joan Birman thought her major discoveries were behind her. Then came an email from a young neighbor — a girl who knew little but wanted to learn.

The winners are being acknowledged for their outstanding achievements in chemistry across various fields in the discipline

Pathways to previously undescribed polyenes, including unusual enzymes that introduce more sugars onto polyene scaffolds, are discovered, and their accessibility through clean and efficient fermentation and potential for safe use as antifungal treatments is described.

High temperatures make cell membranes weak and leaky. Rice plants rapidly counteract this effect by adjusting membrane lipid content, enabling them to resist heatwaves.

Since lipid bilayers are self-assembled macroscopic aggregates, their constituent lipid molecules can spontaneously transition between the two leaflets. This so

The respiratory Complex I is a highly intricate redox-driven proton pump that powers oxidative phosphorylation across all domains of life. Yet, despite major efforts, its long-range energy transductio...

Chloroplasts import thousands of nucleus-encoded proteins via multiprotein translocons. The authors elucidate the assembly and molecular architecture of the outer-membrane TOC translocon (the import “...

Flatiron Institute researcher Pilar Cossio builds tools to analyze experimental measurements and reveal how environmental changes alter the behavior of RNA molecules.

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of over seven million chemicals found in a vast number of industrial and consumer applications. Often referred to as the “forever chemicals,” they have ga...

Turing Award winners Gilles Brassard and Charles Bennett pioneered ideas that are now foundational to quantum computers and quantum communications.

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), as critical components of the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria, play essential roles in maintaining bacterial integrity and mediating environmental interactions...

Cell Size & Growth is a fortnightly online seminar series showcasing the latest research into cellular size, growth, scaling and biosynthesis.

We present a molecular dynamics simulation study of the E. coli ribose transporter protein B (RbsB), a conformationally labile protein found in the periplasm of the bacterium. The ribose transporter e...
