Cucurbit [n] uril supramolecular chemistry has developed rapidly since 2001 when different
cucurbit [n] uril homologues (Q [n]) were successfully separated in pure form. The …

Directed motion at the nanoscale is a central attribute of life, and chemically driven motor
proteins are nature's choice to accomplish it. Motivated and inspired by such …

The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

Research on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and in particular on gelatinase B, alias MMP-
9, has grown exponentially in the decade 2003–2012. Structural details about flexibility of …

The causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium tuberculosis and more recently
totally drug‐resistant strains of M. tuberculosis, display unique mechanisms to survive in the …

The catalytic domain of the F-ATPase in mitochondria protrudes into the matrix of the
organelle, and is attached to the membrane domain by central and peripheral stalks. Energy …

Biomass and other carbonaceous materials can be gasified to produce syngas with high
concentrations of CO and H2. Feedstock materials include wood, dedicated energy crops …

In hypertrophied and failing hearts, fuel metabolism is reprogrammed to increase glucose
metabolism, especially glycolysis. This metabolic shift favors biosynthetic function at the …

The majority of cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is synthesized by
the ubiquitous F1F0 ATP synthase. Power for ATP synthesis derives from an electrochemical …

The genus Mycobacterium comprises a group of obligately aerobic bacteria that have
adapted to inhabit a wide range of intracellular and extracellular environments. A …
