In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* pre-print server, researchers illustrated the cryo-electron microscopic (cryo-EM) structure of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ...

Structure of the cell membrane and conceptual diagrams of (a) short-range viscosity and (b) long-range viscosity. (a) Random thermal motion of lipids on a nanometer scale is not impeded by proteins or ...

Scientists have gained the clearest view yet of a patch of cell membrane and its components, revealing unexpected structures and opening up new possibilities for pharmaceutical research. Working with ...
