Artificial intelligence is already proving it can accelerate drug development and improve our understanding of disease. But ...

A study reveals how proteins form temporary clusters to manage cellular damage, and how disruptions in this process may lead ...

Inside every cell, a cleanup operation runs around the clock. Proteins are constantly damaged by wear and tear. Some can be repaired, while others must be dismantled and recycled. When this system ...

A research team at Leipzig University has identified a mechanism in adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (adhesion GPCRs), a ...

In the race of innovative drug R&D, whether for antibodies, peptides, or novel binding proteins, the efficiency of early-stage molecule discovery is always the key factor determining project success ...

Unlike regular rice, which is naturally high in starch, this type is scientifically altered to improve its nutrient content.

Syracuse University scientists learned how a flexible, reshaping protein creates temporary sorting and storing centers in stressed cells to potentially protect their health. A companion study found ...

Mechanosensitive recruitment of DLC1 to focal adhesions creates a positive feedback loop that locally amplifies Rho activation in response to tension.

Learn what the Nipah virus is, how it spreads, and why it has one of the highest fatality rates among infectious diseases.

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics. Many ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a key technology for determining the structures of proteins, particularly large protein complexes. However, automatically building high-accuracy protein ...
