Chemical biology provides this missing small-molecule piece of the central dogma (Fig. 1). What are small molecules? We know best what they are not—nature's DNA, RNA and protein macromolecules ...
This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...
A new study reveals the potential of two compounds in treating retinitis pigmentosa, a blinding genetic disorder. These compounds, identified through virtual screening, have shown promising results in ...
In these cells, foreign material is processed to produce peptides that are then displayed on the surface of the cell by molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Circulating T cells ...
Biological sciences majors study the elements of life, from molecules to ecosystems ... Students also focus on the relationship between biology and society. Biological sciences majors may have ...
