Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

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.

Randomness favours the worm becoming free because its head can move in many ways that will help to propel it forwards, but only one that would push it backwards. Because of the intrinsically random ...
