A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics. Many ...
Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a material is soft and flexible, or stiff and tough depends on how molecules ...
Complementary biochemical and structural findings reveal molecular principles underlying substrate selectivity by a model hyaluronan synthase.
