Structural biology uses a variety of techniques to determine the 3D structures of biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids and their complexes. In this article, we consider the key techniques, their role in structural biology, strengths and limitations.

Variation is a powerful force in biology. This article explores the importance of moving away from one-size-fits-all approaches and towards diversifying cell lines and clinical trials.

In this article, we will consider how pH can be measured, what it tells us and its role in the food industry.

Some stories of history are written in ink, and others are written in nucleotide bases. Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis – the study of DNA from archaeological or paleontological specimens – is perhaps the closest scientists will ever come to a time machine – a window into the past. In this feature article, we explore how inclusion and representation are critical considerations when we look through that window.

This article walks through some of the foundational developments in the field of glycobiology that have powered the progress made in 2022 and what these advancements signal for the future.

This article will review the latest applications of mass spectrometry-based techniques across the stages of biopharmaceutical development and testing.

There are a lot of steps between when your doctor orders a blood test to establishing a diagnosis. From the bedside to the lab bench, here’s how laboratory testing works.

In this article, we consider what structural biology tells us and the techniques used to investigate it, the role of computation and how techniques can be used together to answer questions in a range of application areas.

This article will highlight some of the selective pressures that can shape viral evolution, focusing on human parainfluenza virus (HPIV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Alcohol has complex, unseen and far-reaching effects at the molecular and cellular level, including altering our gut microbiome, accelerating the aging process and even changing the synapses in the brain.
