From Sequence to Structure: A Fast Track for RNA Modeling

RNA isn’t just a genetic messenger—it also folds into complex shapes to drive vital biological processes. Scientists are just starting to understand the many functions of these molecules, and how we can harness them for applications in environmental science, agriculture, and medicine. A powerful new RNA structure prediction tool is here to help. Read more »

Building a Gated-Access Fast Lane for Ions

In organic conductors where charge is carried by both electrons and ions, scientists have discovered a way to make the ions move more than ten times faster than in comparable ion-transport methods. The results could apply to a host of areas, including improved battery charging, biosensing, soft robotics, and neuromorphic computing. Read more »

ALS Structural Biology Beamlines Surpass 10,000 Protein Structures in the PDB

Today, the nine structural biology beamlines at the ALS passed a major milestone of collectively depositing over 10,000 protein structures into the Protein Data Bank (PDB), a worldwide, open-access repository of protein structures. Read more »
