Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...

Biologists can image proteins using electron and atomic force microscopes. They can visualize the three-dimensional structure of proteins--amino-acid sequences folded in complicated ways--by using X ...

Scientists at Walter and Elizabeth Hall Institute (WEHI) have made what they describe as a huge leap forward in the fight against Parkinson’s disease, solving a decades-long mystery by determining the ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology student developed a tool that can help scientists visualize molecular motion and dynamics of proteins using virtual reality headsets. Kyle Diller, a fifth-year ...

On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

Proteins often function in pairs or groups, concealing their internal connection points and making it difficult for ...

Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) are critical for biological systems to function properly. Strong interactions maintain structural integrity and function, whereas weaker interactions enable ...
