So long as living cells serve as tiny drug-making factories, they will, like much larger factories, generate unwanted byproducts. As industrial byproducts go, the cells’ byproducts, which are known as ...

Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in ...

What does it mean to purify proteins? Protein purification is a necessary process to identify the structure and function of a protein prior to study. Protein purification involves several steps, from ...

In biophysics, the kinetic states of molecules play a determining role in the metabolic and physiological processes in which they take part. Now, a new article specifies for the first time the levels ...

A research group led by Professor Michael Glickman, dean of Technion's Faculty of Biology, has uncovered a key mechanism in ...

Protein misfolding is a likely culprit in many degenerative disorders. Cystic fibrosis, for instance, is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene that prevent the eponymous protein from assuming its ...

Bond Pet Foods’ prototype chicken protein, one of several emerging products in the fermentation space. In response, the quest for more ethical ways to incorporate vegan foods in our diet is heating up ...

It was the year protein was oversold, overvalued and overhyped. The science of protein has not changed; we just need to ...

In biophysics, the kinetic states of molecules play a determining role in the metabolic and physiological processes in which they take part. Now, a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the ...
