The protein folding reaction is marked by the packing of interior side chains to densities approaching or exceeding those of organic crystals 1,2. While it is clear that close-packed interactions play ...

Chemists have developed a strategy using disulfide-containing small molecules to facilitate the reversible control and delivery of ribonucleic acid (RNA). A research team has developed a method that ...

Researchers report the synthesis of a closed molecular cage with areas that can be opened. The opening is achieved through chemical reactions that break the molecular units acting as closures.

The sulfhydryl oxidase Erv2p generates disulfides from oxygen in an FAD-dependent process. The structure of Erv2p shows that during this reaction, a dramatic movement of the enzyme's C-terminal arm ...
