Virus capsids can be formed through the self-complementary assembly of a single class of protein molecules. However, mimicking nature by making higher-ordered structures from artificial molecules has ...

Nanoparticles that under the right conditions, self-assemble -- trapping complementary guest molecules within their structure -- have been recently created by scientists. Like tiny submarines, these ...

Transcription — the transfer of DNA’s genetic information through the synthesis of complementary molecules of messenger RNA — forms the basis of all cellular activities. Yet little is known about the ...

The complement system consists of a complex set of approximately 20 interacting proteolytic enzymes and regulatory proteins found in the plasma and body fluids. [6] Complement proteins are effector ...

Complement molecules are the immune proteins responsible for identifying bacteria, viruses, and other foreign invaders as they circulate through our bodies. Their function helps lymphocytes to locate ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ra Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:RARX) today announced the presentation of scientific data at the 23 rd Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA), June ...

Left untreated, PNH could cause death in about half of patients within 10 years of diagnosis. The primary cause of PNH-related mortality is thromboembolic events. A host of anti-complement strategies, ...

Some biological molecules with efficient noncovalent bonding sites can use their bonding properties to create well-defined assemblies from a single class of molecules–i.e., they assemble with each ...
