DNA inside the nucleus is not packed as a rigid regular fiber—linker histone H1 dynamically binds and loosely "glues" ...

Glass, as an amorphous solid, exhibits a rich tapestry of atomic arrangements that govern its structure and dynamic properties. Recent investigations have illuminated the interplay between short-range ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...

The field of neuroplasticity is increasingly exploring the non-neuronal components that shape synaptic, cellular, and circuit-level adaptation in the brain.

Amyloid-beta (A-beta) aggregates are tangles of proteins most notably associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Despite its constant stint in the limelight, however, researchers ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

A research team led by Potsdam-based bioinformatician Prof. Dr Zoran Nikoloski has developed a computational approach and an accompanying tool that enables the detailed analysis and reconstruction of ...
