Ultraviolet metasurfaces can discriminate the handedness of biomolecules with attomolar sensitivity
Researchers at LSU, in collaboration with Zuse Institute in Berlin, Germany, have developed an ultraviolet metasurface that discriminates between left- and right-handed amino acids with attomolar sensitivity......»»
BioAFMviewer software for simulated atomic force microscopy of biomolecules
Nowadays nanotechnology allows one to observe single proteins at work. Under atomic force microscopy (AFM), e.g., their surface can be rapidly scanned, and functional motions monitored, which is of great importance for applications in all fields of t.....»»
New 3-D structure of RNA polymerase III could lead to new treatments
Scientists have created a three-dimensional map of a complex of molecules that plays a fundamental role in life—and which when it goes wrong is linked to increased sensitivity to viral infections and neurodegenerative diseases......»»
New study shows link between hot and dry weather and air quality in Korea
While ozone in the stratosphere acts as a barrier that protects the Earth from ultraviolet radiation, ground-level (or tropospheric) ozone is a dangerous trace gas that can cause serious health problems. This ozone is the result of photochemical reac.....»»
