 Cellular proteins continuously undergo non-enzymatic covalent modifications (NECMs), which alter protein structure, function, stability and binding-partner affinity. These chemical modifications accumulate under normal physiological conditions but can also be stimulated by various changes in the cellular environment, such as redox state and metabolite concentration. The half-life of histones is among ...
Whales have been on this planet for longer than humans have walked upright. Are they intelligent? Linguists contend that even the most intelligent non-human animals lack a communication system that could be called language. But could whales prove an exception?Biologists have studied whales for decades and quickly realized that they ...
Topological insulators and superconductors host exotic boundary states with unique properties such as Dirac dispersion and chiral spin texture. The helical and chiral edge modes of a two-dimensional TI can carry dissipationless currents while similar modes in topological superconductors are expected to be (the elusive) Majorana fermions which are thought ...
