A new study published in Biochemistry sheds light on how bacteria regulate their genes, challenging long-held assumptions ...

Evolution has been fine-tuning life at the molecular level for billions of years. Proteins, the fundamental building blocks of life, have evolved through this process to perform various biological ...

Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a ...

Filopodia help cells move but also aid cancer spread. Scientists have revealed how fascin proteins build these structures, ...

Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each performing a specialized function. Researchers have long known that the ...

Renowned computational biologist Janet Thornton discusses the potential of protein structure understanding in developing new ...

An enzyme called Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 5 is a key factor in protein quality in heart muscle cells ...

It has been a few years since AI began successfully tackling the challenge of predicting the three-dimensional structure of proteins, complex molecules that are essential for all life. Next-generation ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

The tiny protein known as transthyretin can cause big problems in the body when it misfolds after secretion. While healthy transthyretin moves hormones through blood and spinal fluid, misfolded ...
