A team of US researchers has gained new insights into how large protein molecules consistently fold themselves into useful ...

Michael Martynowycz, PhD, assistant professor of structural biology at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, recently described a new technique for solving protein structures in a rec ...

Advanced proteomics and AI reveal blood protein changes, offering insights into early Alzheimer's detection and differentiation from mild cognitive impairment.

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 the chemical characteristics.

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a ...

Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational ...

Scientists develop a blood test that detects Alzheimer’s by measuring protein structural changes rather than protein quantity.

Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this ...

Recent advances in computational biology have revolutionised the field of protein structure and function prediction. Traditionally, determining the three‐dimensional architecture of a protein from its ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...
