Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors.

Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But ...

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.
