Images of photosynthetic protein complex splitting water
In a new article presents high-resolution images of photosystem II, the protein complex that splits water into hydrogen ions and oxygen during photosynthesis. The...
Machine-learning algorithm predicts how cells repair broken DNA
By creating a machine-learning algorithm that predicts how human and mouse cells respond to CRISPR-induced breaks in DNA, a team of researchers discovered that...
Finding a rhyme and reason to CRISPR-Cas9’s mutations
Investigators have discovered that template-free Cas9 editing is predictable, and they have developed a machine learning model that can predict insertions and deletions with...
Astronomers find pairs of black holes at the centers of merging galaxies
For the first time, a team of astronomers has observed several pairs of galaxies in the final stages of merging together into single, larger...
Tiny molecule has big effect in childhood brain tumor studies
A very small molecule under study is able to kill a childhood brain cancer, and the lead researcher said it may be possible to...
Scientists theorize new origin story for Earth’s water
Earth's water may have originated from both asteroidal material and gas left over from the formation of the Sun, according to new research. The...
How do babies laugh? Like chimps!
Few things can delight an adult more easily than the uninhibited, effervescent laughter of a baby. Yet baby laughter, a new study shows, differs...
Chlamydia attacks with Frankenstein protein
When Chlamydia trachomatis, the bacterium that causes one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide, enters a human cell, it hijacks parts of...
Bacteria use different strategies to divide and survive under stress
A new study shows how cyanobacteria, or bacteria that produce energy through photosynthesis like plants, change the way they grow and divide in response...
