One of the functions of the opsin molecule is to "tune" the chromophore group to respond to a particular range of wavelengths.
"The function of these molecules was to just expand the lattice," Dr. Schön said.
The function of these molecules is vital to development of the secondary palate.
A major biochemical function of the enzyme family is to dephosphorylate molecules with consequent change in function of those molecules.
Structure, dynamics and function of biological molecules are largely determined by physical forces acting on and between the molecules.
The potential for the oscillation of a molecule is the electronic energy plotted as a function of internuclear separation (Figure 7A).
At Downstate, the researchers found a chemical that blocks the functioning of a molecule that is apparently used to retain information.
Figuring out the shape of proteins and other biological molecules is crucial to understanding their functions.
The three scientists pioneered a field that exploits the idea that the three dimensional shapes of molecules are vital to their chemical and biological functions.
Indeed, the function of the vast majority of lncRNA molecules is unknown.
