Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Lipids, according to recent findings, are not just diffusing randomly around the lipid bilayer (shown here), but actually have specific proteins they like to pair with. Image credit: Science Source/K...

Review mills — researchers who write fake referee reports with coercive citation requests — are setting off a war in academic publishing. What happens to those caught in the middle?

I wanted to like QED's new 1% ranking. I don't.

Stromatolites—and their close relatives, microbial mats—could be mistaken for what seems like a bunch of old dark rocks. But instead, they are dense, layered communities of microbes. Long before compl...

The database of 200 million protein-structure predictions now includes homodimers, adding new biological relevance.

Nature Methods - AF2BIND is a logistic regression model trained on AlphaFold2 pair features to predict small-molecule binding-site residues in proteins, without multiple sequence alignments,...

Google and others are committing $100 million to combat climate change.

Throughout my PhD, I determined the transport mechanisms of two proteins that we show break the standard channel / transporter definitions and instead function as anion “chansporters” - proteins that exist somewhere on the spectrum between transporters and channels.

Australian Research Council cites security checks as reason for major delays to grant outcomes

Membrane proteins play a vital role in numerous cellular processes, including ion transport, intercellular communication, and antibiotic resistance. Ensuring their accurate orientation within lipid bi...
