Scientists continue to be puzzled by how proteins fold into their three-dimensional structures. Small single-domain proteins may hold the key to solving this puzzle. These proteins often fold into ...
A new study suggests that the antiviral Molnupiravir may “paradoxically” be driving COVID-19 mutations, creating variants of concern. What is going on? It is all about molnupiravir’s mode of action ...
In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers explore a mutational signature related to molnupiravir in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ...
There are currently two approved COVID-19 treatments that can be taken orally: nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (known as Paxlovid and developed by Pfizer) and Merck’s molnupiravir. They have both been shown to ...
Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic "marks" in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may ...

Your fate can be determined by tiny events. Imagine you live in the city and you walk everywhere to get exercise – you are healthy and not afraid of getting mugged. You almost never eat breakfast so ...
Mutation discovery technologies have enabled the development of reverse genetics for many plant species and allowed sophisticated evaluation of the consequences of mutagenesis. Such methods are ...
