Synthesis using physical modeling has a long history. As computational costs for physical modeling synthesis are often much greater than for conventional synthesis methods, most techniques currently ...

Animals such as spiders make fibers which are strong and elastic. These fibers have a polypeptide structure and serve as inspiration for research into the development of functional materials.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract ABSTRACTLate Pleistocene extinctions occurred globally over a period of about 50,000 years, primarily affecting mammals of ≥ 44 kg body mass ...

This release is available in German. Usually, the synthesis of short protein chains (polypeptides) begins with the production of their components, the amino acids. But it can be done differently: In ...

THE three-dimensional Fourier synthesis of horse hæmoglobin showed four sub-units which were identical in pairs 1. In the model of the molecule, these two kinds of sub-units were painted black and ...

32 P-label is introduced by incoming dGT 32 P molecule. The arrows indicate the sites of enzymatic hydrolysis. The bases of the template DNA strand are designated as clear boxes, and the bases in the ...

How did catalytic organic polymers emerge on prebiotic Earth? Answering this essential question will unlock key understandings in the origin of life. A team of scientists at Tohoku University have ...
