A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence ...

Cyanobacteria began contributing oxygen to Earth's mostly noxious atmosphere more than 2 billion years ago. The photosystem II protein complex now shared by various lineages of cyanobacteria, algae ...

Scientists at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered a new dual function for a ...

Claudia Rückert, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno. She received her bachelor’s degree in biology and master's ...

These sugars can affect how the protein folds and functions, and mistakes during glycosylation can lead to disease. A new study from Robert Keenan's group at the University of Chicago, in ...

AI protein function prediction is reshaping how laboratories approach protein annotation, hypothesis generation, and translational research. As sequencing technologies continue to outpace experimental ...

A GPS-like technique has been used to track G protein-coupled receptor movement, revealing how these essential receptors function. Although G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucial to the ...

Amyloids are perhaps best known as a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease. The amorphous proteins, found throughout the human body, stick to nerve cells like plaque, choking off their function and ...

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 chemical characteristics. Subscribe to ...
