Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking ...

The very first life on earth is thought to have developed from 'protocells' -- liquid mixtures of many different types of molecules. Researchers have now shown that in such mixtures, small imbalances ...

In addition to conventional secreted factors, cells also secrete ncRNA molecules (RNAkines). The molecular types of secreted factor are in bold, and representative examples or subfamilies, such as ...

Much of the world we see around us is made up of complicated molecules. If you go to the store, virtually everything you see—every bottle of nail polish, every bag of lawn fertilizer, and every ...
