Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have created a database that provides updated predicted structures on a ...

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 ...

With a newly developed method that compares AI-generated protein sequences with naturally occurring ones, function- and ...

As people around the world marveled in July at the most detailed pictures of the cosmos snapped by the James Webb Space Telescope, biologists got their first glimpses of a different set of images — ...

PELSA, a high-throughput tool that rapidly detects protein–ligand interactions across hundreds of samples daily. By ...

Researchers are using crystallography to gain a better understanding of how proteins shapeshift. The knowledge can provide valuable insight into stopping and treating diseases. Proteins do the heavy ...

Marcelo Sousa, a biochemist at the University of Colorado Boulder, had spent ten years trying to crack a particularly tricky puzzle. Sousa and his team had collected reams of experimental data on a ...

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 ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Quanterix. Learn more about tau biomarkers and clinical applications. Tau is a flexible protein that stabilizes the internal structure of neurons and supports ...

Shigella bacteria can infect humans but not mice. In the March 29 issue of Nature, a team from UConn Health explains why. Their findings may explain the multifariousness of a key weapon of our immune ...

Researchers used cryo-EM to study how the HIV enzyme integrase arranges in 3D to slip its DNA into the host genome and pack its genetic material into new viral particles.
