Nuclear magnetic resonance measurement and state-of-the-art computational science reveal protein structures in higher eukaryotic cells. Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully ...

Researchers would like to better understand four-stranded RNA structures called RNA G-quadruplexes (RG4s), which are reported to play key roles in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Certain RNA ...

Organelles continue to thrive after the cells within which they exist die, scientists have found, overturning previous assumptions that organelles decay too quickly to be fossilized. Organelles ...

Scientists have identified tubulin structures in primitive Asgard archea that may have been the precursor of our own cellular skeletons. In 2010, biologists made a shocking discovery. Living in the ...

Tokyo, Japan - Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully determined the high-resolution three-dimensional structure of proteins inside living eukaryotic cells. They combined "in ...
