DNA in the cell must be stored in a compact form (or it wouldn't fit) that also allows it to be translated to RNA, and to be copied when a cell divides.

Dynamic protein-nucleic acid complexes are central to molecular biology. For example, protein-RNA interactions hold the ribosome together, while protein-DNA interactions contain DNA in chromatin.

Lynden Archer, the William C. Hooey Director and Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has received the 2014 Nanoscale Science and Engineering Forum (NSEF) Award from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AICHE).

BioSAXS experiments require careful preparation. Many users (even though they may be experienced crystallographers) are new to the technique, and MacCHESS' Richard Gillilan and Alvin Acerbo spend a great deal of time “holding hands” of biologists using the BioSAXS facility for the first time.

Last week, Ithaca Generator (IG) partnered with Xraise, the outreach program at the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education, to host a week-long GERLS Camp for middle school girls.

Not many summer students can say they have configured hutches, built beamlines, and spent all night in the lab running experiments and collecting data.

A substantial number of summer down projects are in full swing here at Wilson lab.

Brian Crane, professor of chemistry and chemical biology in the College of Arts and Sciences, has been named a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) professor, one of 15 leading scientist-educators to receive the honor.
