Researchers at University of Tsukuba have uncovered a master transcriptional regulator that controls rhizobial symbiosis between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. By identifying an amino acid motif ...

Vitamin B 1, also known as thiamine, is essential for the survival of our cells. The human body can't produce it, but we can maintain healthy levels of this vitamin by eating foods like salmon, ...

NAD⁺ is a coenzyme central to redox reactions, shuttling electrons in metabolic pathways and thereby supporting ATP ...

The B.S. in molecular biology at UW provides students with an opportunity to learn about the science of life at multiple levels, from the inner workings of single cells to those of complex organisms.

Molecular biology studies how proteins, sugars, fats, nucleic acids and other molecules form the basis of life. Examining the biochemistry of these molecules, from DNA synthesis to enzyme function, ...

In biology, many RNA molecules act as sophisticated microscopic machines. Among them, riboswitches function as tiny biological sensors, changing their 3D shape upon binding to a specific metabolite.

Ready to lead the next wave of biological and medical research? You’re in the right place! UW’s Ph.D. and master’s in molecular biology are research-intensive programs that expose students to ...
