In unstimulated cells, the state of G alpha (orange circles) is defined by its interaction with GDP, G beta-gamma (purple circles), and a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR; light green loops).

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

A subunit vaccine makes use of just a small portion of a pathogen. For a virus, the vaccine can contain just a piece of the protein coat that surrounds the virus's DNA (or RNA). Even small portion ...

Specialized molecular machines called ribosomes, which comprise a large and a small subunit, are responsible for protein biosynthesis. These protein factories must be disassembled (recycled ...

In cancer-associated cachexia, elevated TNF-α and IL-6 exacerbate muscle and fat loss by regulating multiple metabolic signaling pathways, which could be ameliorated by Z526's suppression of NF-κB ...
