Understanding how biological molecules work inside cells is one of the central goals of structural biology. For many years, researchers had to study molecules outside their natural environment, which often meant losing important biological context.…
Metabolism, the intricate web of biochemical reactions that sustain life within cells, serves as the powerhouse driving essential cellular functions. At the heart of metabolism lies the provision of energy and building blocks crucial for the synthesis of macromolecules, vital for cellular structures, growth, and proliferation. This complex network comprises thousands of reactions catalysed by enzymes, involving an array of co-factors and metabolites.
As we celebrate the incredible contributions of women in science, it’s time to make space for even more voices, ideas, and innovations. We encourage you to share your work by submitting to Quarterly Reviews in Biophysics or QRB Discovery. Your research can inspire others, break down barriers, and shape the future of science.
A recent study published in QRB Discovery sheds light on the impact of humidity on the infectivity of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for COVID-19 transmission. The study found that there was a notable decrease in the infection rate as the surrounding air's relative humidity increased.
