Adaptable hydrogels have recently emerged as a promising platform for three‐dimensional (3D) cell encapsulation and culture. In conventional, covalently crosslinked hydrogels …
Proteins fold into unique native structures stabilized by thousands of weak interactions that collectively overcome the entropic cost of folding. Although these forces are “encoded” in the …
Phase separation can concentrate biomolecules and accelerate reactions. However, the mechanisms and principles connecting this mesoscale organization to signaling dynamics …
The functions of many proteins are regulated through allostery, whereby effector binding at a distal site changes the functional activity (eg, substrate binding affinity or catalytic efficiency) …
Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are especially enriched among proteins that regulate chromatin and transcription. As a result, mechanisms that influence specificity of IDR-driven …

Organic molecules as well as metal complexes may exist as several geometric isomers1 which display distinct physical properties and chemical reactivities. A molecule containing …
The sequencing of complete genomes provides a list that includes the proteins responsible for cellular regulation. However, this does not immediately reveal what these proteins do …
