As structure prediction methods are generating millions of publicly available protein structures, searching these databases is becoming a bottleneck. Foldseek aligns the structure of a query protein against a database by describing tertiary amino acid interactions within proteins as sequences over a structural alphabet.

Chemical analysis of volcanic-island-derived Streptomyces uncovered cihunamides, unique ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides with antibacterial activity.

Chronic colonic inflammation is a feature of cancer and is strongly associated with tumorigenesis, but its underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Control of the spin angular momentum (SAM) carried in a photon provides a technologically attractive element for next-generation quantum networks and spintronics.

Biomolecular condensates play a key role in organizing cellular reactions by concentrating a specific set of biomolecules.

Storing solar energy in chemical bonds aided by heterogeneous photocatalysis is desirable for sustainable energy conversion. Despite recent progress in designing highly active photocatalysts, inefficient solar energy and mass transfer, the instability of catalysts and reverse reactions impede their practical large-scale applications.

This study is the first report on atmospheric microplastics (MPs) observed in five outdoor environments, including an urban forest, a business center, commercial areas, and a public transportation hub in Seoul, South Korea.

Single-benzene dual-emitters are realized by proton transfer equilibrium between two emissive tautomers. We demonstrate that the excited-state antiaromaticity of the benzene core drives the proton movements.

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were previously considered to be inversely associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Silicon is an attractive anode material for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) because it has a high energy density and is safer than metallic lithium.

The Terra-LUNA crash in May 2022 was triggered by the depeg of the ecosystem’s stablecoin UST. It led to the unprecedented demise of a blockchain ecosystem and cost investors tens of billions of dollars.

The thermal characteristics of crystalline and amorphous forms of a human milk oligosaccharide, 2ʹ-fucosyllactose (2ʹ-FL), were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis, and compared with the two forms of α-lactose monohydrate.
