How the proteins in our bodies bind together to form protein complexes plays a critical role in numerous cell functions—staving off diseases, for instance, or transporting ions across cell membranes.

A new laser technique decodes molecular vibrations to predict whether a drug will be effective, potentially cutting years ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

Understanding the function of proteins is of great significance for revealing disease pathogenesis and discovering new targets. Benefiting from the explosive growth of the protein universal, deep ...

After nearly four decades of research, Mayo Clinic scientists have revealed the molecular structures of protein kinase C beta ...

What diversifies proteins, unlike any other molecules, is their ability to fold into higher-order structures, which reproduce to execute specific functions supporting healthy processes. However, when ...

Some proteins in human cells that are implicated in cancer also have causal roles in neurodevelopmental disorders, raising the possibility of repurposing targeted cancer therapies to help address ...

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. It involves the systematic identification, quantification, and analysis of the entire protein complement ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a large-scale screening approach that identifies ...

Protein supplements are now mainstream, but concerns about kidney health persist. For individuals with healthy kidneys, high ...

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and permanent loss of nerve cells in the brain. The breakdown causes memory loss, ...
