Scientists have succeeded in reconstructing biomolecules in their mirror-image form. The researchers' goal is to create a mirror-image artificial protein synthesis system. Their aim is to produce ...

Electron spin may subtly break the symmetry between mirror-image molecules, helping explain why biology chose one molecular ...

A research team led by Prof. Sangwon Seo of the Department of Physics and Chemistry at DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee) has developed a catalytic technology that can easily and elaboratively assemble key ...

The rippled sheet is a distinctive variation on the pleated beta sheet, which is a well-known structural motif found in thousands of proteins, including important disease-related proteins. Linus ...

Amid growing debates about the benefits and risks of studying looking-glass versions of life’s building blocks, there is an urgent need to bridge divergent views. Prohibiting the creation of molecules ...

Circularly polarized light has properties that make it useful in a growing range of technologies, from next-generation 3D ...

As synthetic biologists, we have spent the last few decades in awe of the breakthroughs in the field. In the last fifteen years, synthetic biologists have stored books, images, and even videos in DNA, ...

Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have succeeded in reconstructing biomolecules in their mirror-image form. The researchers' goal is to create a mirror-image artificial protein ...
