Jantana Keereetaweep, a biochemistry research associate in the biology department at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, has been awarded the Paul K. Stumpf Award for her ...

For centuries arsenic has been synonymous with poison and peril. However, it is also ubiquitous in the Earth’s crust, and runoff from natural deposits and industrial processes has spread it throughout ...

We know very well that metabolites—small molecules such as lipids, sugars, nucleotides, and amino acids—play a large role in cellular biochemistry. But we are only beginning to understand the many ...

My background is in chemical biology: developing and using chemical tools to help solve intractable problems in biology. I got interested in studying infectious disease after living in Mozambique, ...

The four helices conserved across the Lipocone superfamily constitute a cone-like structure, with the helices tending to coalesce on one end and open out into a pocket on the other, lined by the ...

This project explores how a specific group of lipids, key membrane components and dynamic signaling molecules, shape cellular fate by regulating both senescence and cell death. Project is Not ...

Changing just one atom in a COVID-19 vaccine lipid redirects delivery from the liver to the spleen, improving tumor ...

Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals and chemistry of living organisms. Biochemists study biomolecules (such as proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and lipids), their applications and interactions in ...

Researchers have described a large set of previously unrecognized enzymatic domains—named the Lipocone superfamily—and outlined their evolutionary pathway from bacterial defense molecules to key ...
