The protein K2P1 (blue) regulates the flow of potassium ions (red) in and out of cells. Memorial Sloan Kettering investigators revealed its three-dimensional structure using x-ray crystallography.

What is a Uniform Load? The outside effort acting on a structure is known as the load. Typically, the load alters the structure’s shape, which can lead to plastic deformation. It is described as a ...

Strength. Rigidity. Dependability. The ability to bear weight without buckling. These are all things that we look for when we build a mechanical structure. And in today’s Retrotechtacular we take a ...

The trade-off relationship between antibiotic exclusion and nutrient access across the Gram-negative outer membrane is determined by structural constraints in porin channels. The precise nutritional ...
