At the laboratory of Bacterial Molecular Genetics, from the Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine of the UAB, researchers have studied which existing mechanisms of genetic regulation allow some bacteria to retain the ability to develop under...
The latest discoveries in the field of RNA interference have revolutionized our knowledge of molecular and cellular biology. They have allowed to advance in therapies to treat serious diseases, like HIV. But this article proves that, at the present time, much is left to...
A research group of the UAB Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine and the UAB Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, directed by Francesc Xavier Avilés, is the coordinator of a European project aimed at studying...
Enzymes are proteins that regulate the rate of chemical reactions involved in biological processes. Researchers at the UAB Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are currently studying strategies to artificially alter the structure of enzymes in order to modify their behaviour.
A researchers team of the UAB Biomedicine and Biotechnology Institute's Immunology Unity and some european researchers have publishedan important book about this subject. According to their research, a transformation in proteins' function can cause circulating autoantibodies presence that...
Lynn Margulis is one of the leading scientists in the field of microbiology. Her contributions to biology and evolutionism are many. Amonst others, of particular significance is her Serial...
UAB's researchers have applied atomic force microscopy to study chromatin -DNA and histones- in its natural aqueous environment and have found that it is much more compact than previously thought. A fact that will have to be considered to understand the mechanism of DNA transcription during the cell cycle.
