Cooperative binding effects pervade biology. Only a few basic principles are at play, but in different biological contexts cooperativity appears in distinct guises to achieve different ends. Here I ...

Our biological processes rely on a system of communications — cellular signals — that set off chain reactions in and between target cells to produce a response. The first step in these often complex ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ...

In a breakthrough, scientists overcame designed an innovative microfluidic mixer that monitors the fluorescence induced by hydrophobic aggregation. This scientific advance not only allows the ...

Physicists find the first instance of Dicke cooperativity in a matter-matter system. The discovery could help advance the understanding of magnetic phenomena. After their recent pioneering experiments ...

Hydrophobic interactions is one major type of intermolecular force that plays a vital role in many life processes in Chemistry and Physics. In biological systems, hydrophobic interactions can ...
