Nature China highlights the best research coming out of Mainland China and Hong Kong, providing scientists from around the world with a convenient portal into publications drawn from across all scientific disciplines.
Protein structure: Let's swap
Scientists in China have unveiled the structure and process by which scaffold proteins help to form tight junctions
Molecular biosensors: A colourful detector
Hemin-G-quartet complexes can be used as sensitive, label-free sensors for medium-length DNA strands
Hydrolysis: Back from the dead
Superheated water under high pressure can be used to break down dead animal waste into useful amino acids
Corrosion: Have a copper tea!
Organic substances released from tea can speed up the corrosion of copper teapots
Remyelination: For the price of a gene
Demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, can be treated by blocking a particular genetic function
Photonic crystals: From peaks to valleys
Scientists in China have created a device that can invert the reflection spectrum of a photonic crystal
