Researchers have discovered how the protein XPD detects severe DNA damage and controls its repair.

One of the many secrets to bacteria's success is their ability to defend themselves from viruses, called phages, that infect bacteria and use their cellular machinery to make copies of themselves.

In a new study, researchers report on the molecular assembly of one of the most common anti-phage systems – from the family of proteins called Gabija – that

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a powerful new technique to generate “movies” of changing protein structures at speeds of up to 50 frames per second. 

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered a DNA repair mechanism that advances understanding of how human cells stay healthy, and which could lead to new treatments for cancer and premature aging.

A new study recently published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology uses leading-edge cryo-electron microscopy imaging technology to determine whether dif

<p>Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified a new approach to controlling bacterial infections.<em> </em>The findings were described in the February 6 online issue of<em> Nature Structural & Molecular Biology</em>. The team found a way to turn on a vital bacterial defense mechanism to fight and manage bacterial infections. The defense system, called cyclic oligonucleotide-based antiphage signaling system (CBASS), is a natura...
