Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 110, No. 23 (June 4, 2013), pp. 9243-9248 (6 pages) We provide a systematic characterization of the nanosecond ...

To isolate the contribution of water to the vibrational fluctuations that occur between DNA, bulk water, and the charged biomolecular interface between the two, researchers have performed ...

Pairs of negatively charged phosphate groups and positive magnesium ions represent a key structural feature of DNA and RNA embedded in water. Vibrations of phosphate groups have now been established ...

Although most of our electronic devices, like mobile phones, laptops and electric vehicles use lithium rechargeable batteries, what is going on inside them is not fully understood. Researchers from ...

Cataracts form when clear crystallin proteins in the eye lens aggregate into opaque deposits that scatter incoming light and cloud vision. Researchers had posited these aggregates contained amyloids, ...

An IR spectroscopy technique for identifying proteins is said to be the first new method developed in the field for 20 years. Optical spectroscopy could have significant potential for protein analysis ...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was developed to detect protons, and has since then been applied in studying the molecular structure of proteins, RNA, DNA complexes, and interactions ...
