From a distance, a green bush cricket (Tettigonia cantans) can easily be mistaken for a plant appendage, and that's exactly the point. Its leafy green hue allows it to blend seamlessly into its surroundings, camouflaging ...
University of Pennsylvania researchers have discovered a right-handed, antiparallel double-helix inside influenza ribonucleoprotein complexes that slides strand-against-strand as the viral polymerase copies RNA, offering ...
Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS)/SOKENDAI and Kyushu University have uncovered the molecular mechanism that drives the "ticking" of the circadian clock in cyanobacteria.
