Scientists at ORNL and the University of Cincinnati achieved a breakthrough in understanding the vulnerability of microbes to the butanol they produce during fermentation of plant biomass.
Hugh O’Neill’s lifelong fascination with the complexities of the natural world drives his research at ORNL, where he’s using powerful neutron beams to dive deep into the microscopic realm of biological materials and unlock secrets for better production
Diisobutylene Maleic Acid Copolymer (DIBMA) is shown to co-assemble with lipid molecules into a nanodisc structure.
Scientists at 91°µÍø have uncovered how the SARS-CoV-2 virus evades the human immune system by studying the interaction between a viral protein (PLpro) and a key immune protein (ISG15).
Researchers believe that proteins could behave differently in lipid raft environments, compared to non-raft regions in a membrane, but this hypothesis has not been fully evaluated.
