We describe here the crystal structure of BoNT/A and then use this structural information to address some of these mechanistic questions. The binding domain, with overall dimensions of 32 Å × 37 ...

Porous organic crystals with superior properties as CO2 adsorbents were created by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo. Owing to the novel 2.5-dimensional skeleton, the materials feature ...

Zinc sulphide exists with two different crystal structures, the cubic zinc blend (top diagram) and the hexagonal Wurtzite (lower diagram). In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc ...

However, they are difficult to analyze. Now, Tokyo Tech researchers have addressed this issue with a novel pipeline that enables a rapid crystal structure analysis of IDPs via a cell-free protein ...

The crystal structure of the newest, aluminum-based metal-organic framework, MOF-303, which captures twice as much water as the earlier MOF used in the water harvester. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...

It melts at 1410 C. The electronic configuration of the silicon atom is: (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 2, and the atomic radius is 0.132 nm. Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter ...

Rubies and emeralds have the colors they do because, like many substances, they absorb some colors of light. Most visible light, like sunlight, is composed of all the colors of the rainbow: red, ...

Scientists at the University of Chicago have developed a groundbreaking crystal memory that stores terabytes of data in a millimeter-sized cube ...

MIT physicists have made an exciting discovery: in an ultra-thin material, electrons can form crystal-like structures, acting like tiny frozen blocks of energy. This unexpected finding adds to a ...
