How wildlife in ponds has evolved to survive frozen water—and how you can help more animals stay alive
When filled with ice-skaters or a clumsy Bambi on a Christmas card, a frozen pond is a merry sight. But spare a thought for the living things trapped below. The aerial wizardry of dragonflies and summer sculling of pond skaters are long gone. As the.....»»
Computational biologists design a novel and improved triosephosphate isomerase barrel protein
Proteins and enzymes perform several key functions inside the human body. To design a functional protein, it is important to be able to control the structure of protein folds and understand the relationship between the sequence, structure, and stabil.....»»
Shedding light on photosynthesis at sea
Plants that live on land, such as spinach, grow by using sunlight to perform photosynthesis. How, then, do algae photosynthesize in the deep sea, an environment where only a little light reaches them?.....»»
