A new era in structural biology is coming to UC Davis, and it is already yielding discoveries. It’s called cryoelectron microscopy, or cryo-EM, and it allows biologists to capture three-dimensional ...

Jacobs School researchers have shown how an electron diffraction technique can quickly and efficiently create high-resolution ...

A central question in molecular biology is how cells protect their chromosomes from damage during repeated cell division. At ...

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

A revolutionary technique for determining the 3D shape of proteins is booming. Last week, a database that collects protein and other molecular structures determined by cryo-electron microscopy, or ...
