Happy Valentine's to my queen of hearts
Tribute to Rosalind Franklin from the Structure Biology Playing Cards
Hoping for a shot at love
Structural biology and PDB structures played a role in the success of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Learn more in Resources to Fight the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Don't want to be with antibody but you
Structural biologists are revealing the many ways that antibodies recognize SARS-CoV-2. More at Molecule of the Month: SARS-CoV-2 Spike and Antibodies.
We make a perfect pair
DNA is composed of a long linear strand of millions of nucleotides, and is most often found paired with a partner strand (Molecule of the Month: DNA).
You light up my life
Organisms from fireflies to bacteria use luciferase to emit light (Molecule of the Month: Luciferase).
Sweet on you
For some proteins, clipped and reassembled sequences can produce the same 3D shape (Molecule of the Month: Concanavalin A and Circular Permutation).
Something tells me I really, really like you
Oxytocin has been called the "love hormone" (more at Scientific American; PDB structure 2mgo)
