Every cell contains genes coded in its DNA. To fulfill its function, a gene must first be "transcribed" into an RNA molecule, which is in turn "translated" into a protein. Proteins in turn control a ...
Susie Dai’s lab at the University of Missouri smells faintly of oranges, and that is not an accident. Her team has spent ...
Before plants evolved, vegetative life consisted of primitive green algae living in the sea. Like plants, these algae survived by performing photosynthesis, turning sunlight into energy. However, ...
In an algae-eat-algae world, it's the single-celled photosynthetic organisms at the top (layer of the ocean) that absorb the most sunlight. Underneath, in the sublayers, are cryptophyte algae that ...
A postdoctoral researcher in the department of physics and biology at Princeton University gave a guest lecture about a process that allows algae to generate energy more efficiently Jan. 23. Inside ...
Scientists have identified a new ultraviolet‑absorbing compound in microscopic algae that functions as a natural shield against the sun, adding an unexpected player to the future of skin protection.
The carrageenans are a group of linear sulfated polysaccharides found in red algae 1 of the phylum Rhodophyta. At least 10 carrageenans are known; the best known and most important ones are ι (iota)-, ...
Artificial intelligence has promised to shave years off the pursuit of small-molecule drugs, and, now, Lumen Bioscience has enlisted researchers at Google to help do the same with large-molecule ...
