Researchers have uncovered the 3D structure of RBP3, a key protein in vision, revealing how it transports retinoids and fatty ...

Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they ...

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists ...

Proteins are fundamental biomolecules that perform a broad range of vital functions within the human body. They serve as an essential structural and functional component of cells, tissues and organs ...

Researchers at University of California campuses at Davis and San Diego have developed a new, neuroplasticity-promoting drug ...

This useful study presents computational analyses of over 5,000 predicted extant and ancestral nitrogenase structures. While the data and some analyses are solid, the study remains incomplete in ...

Scientists have long struggled to target proteins that lack defined structure and are involved ... engineering proteases -- enzymes that cut proteins at specific sites -- to selectively degrade ...

An enzyme's ability to remain catalytically active at lower temperatures is linked to the flexibility of its molecular structure. However, the precise molecular mechanisms behind this adaptation ...

Digestive enzymes are found in the digestive system, including the mouth, stomach, and small intestine. They help you break down food and absorb nutrients. Sometimes, the body cannot make enough ...
