First computer simulation that captures every molecule in a living cell through its full life cycle (w/video)

(Nanowerk News) By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...

Room to move: Neutron scattering shows how proteins behave in crowded environments

Proteins are essential molecules in living systems. They move, interact and organize themselves to carry out a wide range of functions, from helping cells communicate to forming structures inside the ...

Simulation makes it possible to study movements of cell's largest protein complexes without supercomputers

Large protein machines in the body carry out many of the cell's most essential tasks, from energy production to the regulation of signal transmission. Although they can now be imaged in great detail ...
