A schematic visualisation of a network of proteins where some of the protein staples have been removed

Scientists at the University of Leeds have developed an approach that could help in the design of a new generation of synthetic biomaterials made from proteins.

Before and after image of improved microscopy

Scientists have developed a new computational technique that allows them to see in finer detail the way protein molecules behave.

Star with dust ring

Astronomers have identified the molecule methanol in the ‘warm zones’ of a protoplanetary disk circling a star about 360 light years from Earth.

Rays of sunlight through the green leaves of a tree canopy

New scientific techniques are allowing scientists to investigate the role of individual proteins during photosynthesis.

DNA

By using high resolution images and supercomputer simulations, scientists have shown for the first time how DNA adopts dance-like movements within cells.
