Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but necessary to explain cosmology. Astronomy, however, isn't the only field with ...

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 the chemical characteristics. Many ...

Researchers recently published findings that could lay the groundwork for applying quantum computing methods to protein structure prediction. Researchers from Cleveland Clinic and IBM recently ...

In genetics, one harmful variant can be enough to cause disease—but two can make it far more severe. One notable example is KJ, an infant diagnosed with a rare urea cycle disorder with a grim ...
