New chip unveiled: A team created a molybdenum disulfide-based neuromorphic chip with a signal-folding scheme to run AI algorithms with high efficiency. Energy savings boost: The design cuts power use ...

Cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) are a large family of secreted bacterial pore-forming toxins that specifically bind cholesterol-containing mammalian membranes 1. Although the pore size ...

A team of scientists from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, has recently demonstrated that chemical agents capable of reducing disulfide (S-S) bonds can be potentially used as antiviral drugs ...

NADPH is mainly supplied from glucose, so cutting off the glucose supply can lead to an accumulation of disulfide molecules and cell death. The precise mechanism behind this process was not previously ...

When biochemists want to break disulfide bonds within or between molecules, they add dithiothreitol to their buffer solutions. Now researchers describe an easy-to-make alternative to the small ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus report that they have broken up deadly mucus secretions in the lungs, which can be fatal for asthma patients, at the molecular level ...

Molybdenum disulfide [molybdenum(IV) sulfide, MoS 2] is an inorganic compound that exists in nature in the mineral molybdenite. Its crystals have a hexagonal layered structure (shown) that is similar ...
