HHMI researchers bring the arcane world of protein folding to the online gaming arena with the launch of “Foldit.” Multiplayer online gaming brings to mind fabulously successful titles, such as “World ...

Arthur Horwich and Franz-Ulrich Hartl honored for contributions to the understanding of the molecular mechanism of protein folding. The Shaw Prize Foundation in Hong Kong today announced that Arthur ...

Ulrich Hartl, a member of the cellular biochemistry and biophysics program at New York City-based Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute associate investigator ...

Protein structure and dynamics are intimately linked with biological activity. Understanding the physical basis for this activity requires knowledge of the equilibrium and kinetic properties of ...

Protein folding is the process by which proteins achieve their mature functional (native) tertiary structure, and often begins co-translationally. Protein folding requires chaperones and often ...

They reconstituted the pathway of chaperone-assisted folding in which the Hsp70 and the GroEL chaperone systems cooperate and discovered that GroEL and its co-factor GroES provide a cage for ...

Cech (Biochemistry and HHMI) Use of X-ray crystallography to understand the folding and catalytic ... Randolph (Chemical & Biological Engineering) Pressure effects on protein folding and unfolding; ...

They identify how altered protein folding drives multicellular evolution. In a new study led by researchers from the University of Helsinki and the Georgia Institute of Technology, scientists ...

But unlike eukaryotes, archaea wind their DNA around just one histone protein, and form a long, twisting structure called a superhelix. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...
