Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

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 chemical characteristics.

Lysosomes are the control centers for the metabolism of cells and tissues, including the brain. They break down defective ...

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 ...

Mitochondrial protein import is a critical process underpinning mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular homeostasis. With the vast majority of mitochondrial proteins encoded by nuclear DNA and ...

AI protein function prediction uses machine learning models trained on sequence and structural data to infer protein roles at ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Scientists at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered a new dual function for a ...

Researchers have created nanoparticles that can remove disease-driving proteins while also delivering a chemotherapeutic or ...

Optimal health is best supported by a balanced diet that includes adequate protein along with vegetables, vitamins, whole ...
