Kanazawa University, report in ACS Nano, how proteins in cells can be controllably activated through heating, an effect that ...

The world of protein engineering just took a giant leap forward. A team in China has developed a method that makes designing better proteins faster, cheaper, and easier.

A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein ...

The average human cell contains roughly 10,000 different proteins. Existing as several to millions of copies in each cell, proteins mediate all manner of tasks, including chemical transformations, ...

Abstract Dimerization of transmembrane (TM) proteins is a fundamental process in cellular membranes, central to numerous physiological and ...

Proteins perform their many different functions via physical interactions with other molecules, in particular, small ...

Protein degradation in the cell can be carried out by an enzyme complex called the proteasome. Writing in Nature, Goldberg et al. 1 reveal that the proteasome is more than just a protein-degradation ...

Alcohol doesn’t just damage the liver — it locks its cells in a strange “in-between” state that prevents them from healing.

New research findings from the Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen bring us one step closer to ...

By knocking out a protein duo’s “bodyguard” role, researchers have exposed a hidden weakness in pancreatic cancer. It’s a ...

A new study from Aarhus University shows that our cells' ability to clean out old protein clumps, known as aggregates, also ...

New research reveals promising drug targets to block coronaviruses at multiple stages of infection—even across different strains.
