Inspired by origami, North Carolina State University researchers have found a way to remotely control the order in which a two-dimensional (2-D) sheet folds itself into a three-dimensional (3-D) ...

Peptoids, or n-substitued glycines, are complex and diverse oligomeric structures which have been explored for a number of biomimetic applications including drug delivery, surfactants, and catalysts.

In living cells, the genetic information in DNA is transcribed to RNA which is then translated to produce a peptide chain of defined sequence 1. In these transcription–translation processes, elaborate ...

Structure-specific endonucleases (SSEs) process various types of DNA secondary structures that arise during DNA replication, repair, recombination and transcription, and are important for the ...
