Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a hidden molecular "control switch" inside a protein that helps the body ...

Researchers have identified a single protein whose absence can cripple tumors in mice, slowing their growth and in some cases ...

Proteins are important molecules—but they aren’t the only molecules in a cell, and they don’t operate alone. In a new preprint, the team behind the protein structure prediction software RoseTTAFold ...

Life’s most indispensable molecules are not the serene, unchanging fixtures they might appear to be. Even the proteins that ...

The body uses protein-based molecular motors to perform functions essential to life. Now, researchers have created ‘The Lawnmower,’ the first synthetic motor modeled on those found in nature that ...

Traditional analog ELISA readout systems need great volumes, which inevitably dilute reaction products, adding the requirement of millions of enzyme labels to develop signals that can be detected with ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein synthesis right at the start.

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Finally, although transgenic animals and mammalian cell culture systems promote optimal expression due to correct protein modifications, ...

They build our bodies and orchestrate the molecular processes in cells that keep them healthy. They also present a wealth of targets for new medications. From everyday pain relievers to sophisticated ...
