Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown type of molecular motion inside DNA-based droplets: instead of spreading randomly, guest molecules advance in an organized wave. This surprising ...

Researchers uncover a mechanism that may explain why biology consistently selects one molecular form over its mirror image. A new study suggests that life’s long-standing preference for one “handed” ...

On the far right side of the periodic table, just beneath oxygen, sits a lesser-known group of elements called the chalcogens ...

As our understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving complex biological processes grows, the role of chemical biology will continue to expand. The 2008 American Society for Biochemistry and ...

“The elements are like the alphabet of life. The language of life is created from the right combination of letters or characters.” This is how chemistry professor Chris Chang sees chemical biology, as ...

The human biology major will provide students with a broad biological understanding of our species, from molecules, genes, and cells to tissues, organ systems and organism/environment interactions.

Most pieces in this series of primers have stayed within the realm of the biological, examining life at the levels of the species, the individual, the organ and the cell. But the first dealt with a ...
