Scientists used light to evolve proteins that can switch, sense, and even “compute” inside living cells. Evolution is one of ...

Protein function prediction and annotation represent critical challenges in the post‐genomic era. As high‐throughput sequencing continues to generate vast amounts of protein data, computational ...

The framework predicts how proteins will function with several interacting mutations and finds combinations that work well ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

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 ...

A structural protein best known for building the internal scaffolding of cells may double as a natural defense against the ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

A Rutgers-led study found that eating less protein may help slow liver cancer in people with impaired liver function. When ...

A new study discovers how nitric oxide triggers a biochemical domino effect in the brain, leading to mTOR overactivation in ...

Knowing what’s fact and what’s fiction when it comes to protein can help you make more informed food choices and build a balanced diet that supports your goals.
