Lipids are a diverse group of hydrophobic or amphipathic biomolecules that serve as structural components of cell membranes, energy stores and signalling mediators. Major classes include fatty acids, ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...

Membrane lipids may have helped shape the evolution of proteins in the respiratory complexes of mitochondria, a team of cell biologists at the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology in ...

For centuries arsenic has been synonymous with poison and peril. However, it is also ubiquitous in the Earth’s crust, and runoff from natural deposits and industrial processes has spread it throughout ...

A new single-protein analysis technique gives researchers an unprecedented ability to study proteins called scramblases, which have critical roles in biology. The development of the new technique, in ...

Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals and chemistry of living organisms. Biochemists study biomolecules (such as proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and lipids), their applications and interactions in ...

Indian millets are a staple for the country's population of more than a billion. They are also gaining global popularity, ...
