The weather can affect picnics and trips to the beach, but supramolecular chemists haven’t usually blamed it for influencing lab experiments. Now, scientists report that humidity can contribute trace ...

A significant advancement in molecular engineering has produced a large, hollow spherical shell nanostructure through the self-assembly of peptides and metal ions, report researchers from Japan. This ...

Actin filament nucleation is unfavourable; therefore, nucleation factors are required to initiate assembly of any actin-based structure 1. At present, there are three known classes of nucleation ...

Molecular instructions in living cells can be timed rather like the notes or chords in a piece of music. For example, a finite number of genes can be activated and expressed in different orders, for ...
