A quick, purification-free method was developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, to capture the detailed 3D ...

Efforts to unlock the mysteries of proteins, building blocks of life, have earned three scientists the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The prize goes to David Baker “for computational protein design,” ...

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 ...

Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting and limb ...

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to researchers who cracked the code for proteins’ structures, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced today (Oct 9). David Baker, a biochemist at the ...

Jessica Kramer, left, and Thomas McParlton observe the size of ice crystals in a sample treated with their protein in their lab at the University of Utah. Anyone who has experienced freezer burn knows ...

These proteins depend on their partner because they are rapidly degraded if they are not combined into complexes as soon as they are made. Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble ...
