DNA provides one of the simplest yet most flexible platforms for the programmable assembly of molecular devices 1. Its success as a construction material arises from the predictability of Watson–Crick ...

Proteins bind to one another through a complex mix of chemical interactions. What if some proteins bind due to their shapes, a much simpler process? To answer this question, researchers used Summit, ...

Recent advances in computational protein design have depended mainly on neural networks and machine learning to generate binders. However, the complexity of protein–protein interactions and the ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new approach to joining -- and reconfiguring -- modular DNA building units, by snapping together complementary shapes instead of zipping together strings of base pairs.

Human brain forms 'complementary' afterimage after eyes seize to see objects, Japanese researchers observe. When we gaze at a shape and then the shape disappears, a strange thing happens: We see an ...
