Specially designed histidine-containing peptoids mimic carbonic anhydrase to accelerate calcite step growth.

PNNL researchers are opening up a new front in the fight to stop viral pathogens, protecting people against multiple viruses.

Capturing protein structural changes in host cells exposes vulnerabilities exploited by viruses to hijack cellular machinery.

Ice crystals are surprisingly tolerant of defects in their structure. The findings come from the first-ever molecular-resolution observations of nanoscale samples of ice frozen from liquid water.

Imaging ice microstructures formed by water freezing with atomic resolution for the first time.

PNNL researchers developed a new computational workflow to study day-to-night gene expression dynamics of cyanobacterium in real time.

Predicting how organisms’ characteristics respond to not only their genes, but also their environments (a nascent field called predictive phenomics), is extraordinarily challenging. Researchers at PNNL are using AI to tackle that challenge.

As Laboratory Director Steve Ashby pens his last monthly column, he highlights PNNL’s accomplishments with pride and gratitude.

Tailored assemblies mimic natural enzyme activity with significantly higher stability.

In high-entropy oxides, chromium tends to segregate during growth due to oxidation-induced migration of smaller, high-valence cations.

Researchers are uncovering the secrets of a fast-acting molecular messaging network that helps determine how the genetic code plays out.

Understanding molecular modifications of proteins in the red yeast could help scientists re-engineer the organism’s phenotype.
