RNAs have rapidly emerged as the key players in many fundamental biological processes, as well as the bridge to future medicine. The Yen laboratory is interested in the biology of RNA molecular ...

This work highlights how molecular crosslinking can be used to reinforce dendrimers, and demonstrates how conjugated systems can be built simultaneously into these nanostructures. The definitive ...

Researchers demonstrate reversible switching of supramolecular chirality using light, enabling new design strategies for optical and electronic materials.

"We found previously unknown 'molecular switches' within the estrogen receptor that, while flexible, work together with remarkable precision to coordinate cellular processes," said Sichun Yang ...

As building blocks for the creation of new nanomachines such as molecular motors, pumps and switches, they could make improvements in everything from the delivery of medicines to information ...
