Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to perform specific jobs in nature. But these elegant structures form only ...

Nanoscience can arrange minute molecular entities into nanometric patterns in an orderly manner using self-assembly protocols. Scientists have functionalized a simple rod-like building block with ...

Our brains use basic 'building blocks' of information to keep track of how people interact, enabling us to navigate complex social interactions, finds a new study. Our brains use basic 'building ...

Figure 1: The iterative assembly of bifunctional building blocks is a versatile strategy for the preparation of small molecules. Importantly, like their peptide, oligonucleotide and oligosaccharide ...
