Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

Inside every human cell, proteins are constantly being tagged with small chemical modifications after they're produced. Known ...

Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins. When molecules of a drug ...

Researchers capture first-of-its-kind video of dynein–Lis1 protein interaction, supporting future drug development for neurological disorders. Our cells rely on microscopic highways and specialized ...

Toward the goal of efficient editing of farm animals for genetic improvements, this study explores an upgraded form of nuclease PE (uPEn). Based on the resolved structure of the NiV polymerase L-P ...

The function of biological cells is determined by the interactions between proteins. Abnormal protein interactions are the cause of numerous diseases. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now developed a ...

Recently, SandboxAQ launched what it claims is the largest publicly available dataset of protein-ligand pairs with annotated experimental binding potency data. According to the company, the ...

Proteins are the molecular workhorses of cells. To understand their functions, scientists soon realized that they had to figure out proteins’ shapes. But solving a protein structure is a challenging ...

Scientists at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, have uncovered a crucial trick used by enteroviruses—the group behind diseases like polio, myocarditis, encephalitis, and even the common ...

Proteins carry out many important functions in living things. A protein’s function is dependent on its structure and so proteins have a wide variety of structures to support these functions. They can ...
