RSSMost proteins in the cell begin to fold co-translationally on the ribosome while they emerge from its exit tunnel. A growing amount of evidence also demonstrates that the ribosome itself can significantly modulate this process.
The quest to reduce CO2 emissions in transport is driving research into flow control methods aimed at reducing the aerodynamic drag. Especially in air transportation, the roughly linear dependency of fuel consumption on aerodynamic resistance explains the need for innovative approaches.
Determining atomic resolution structures of multiple functional states of protein would greatly aid the development of drugs to target these states and regulate biomolecular function.
2D materials can be dramatically different from those of their 3D parents, thus unveiling novel physical phenomena and creating new technological potentialities.
Realizing the green transition requires not only materials with tailored functionalities, but also that we use less of these materials, which in turn requires that they can be designed to achieve a combination of high strength and toughness.
This proposal aims to disclose new properties of cosmic-ray transport in the Universe. A fast numerical method is used to describe the propagation of cosmic-rays in anisotropic magnetic turbulence.
Polymers are ubiquitous in our society thanks to their durability, low manufacturing costs, and ability to be formulated into diverse materials.
The resolution revolution has increasingly enabled single-particle cryo-EM reconstructions of previously inaccessible systems, including large membrane protein complexes that constitute a disproportionate share of drug targets.
RNA molecules span a great variety of biological functions, from genetic information storage to catalysis. This is possible thanks to the highly heterogeneous conformational ensembles that these molecules can adopt.
This project will establish fundamental physical design rules for defect-induced functional materials for energy conversion and energy-efficient electronics.
