Michael Martynowycz, PhD, assistant professor of structural biology at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, recently described a new technique for solving protein structures in a rec ...

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 ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a protein and alter its function. A team at HZB has now investigated the Nsp1 ...

Recent advances in computational biology have revolutionised the field of protein structure and function prediction. Traditionally, determining the three‐dimensional architecture of a protein from its ...

Research led by scientists at Washington State University has revealed insights on how plants form a microscopic landscape of proteins crucial to photosynthesis, the basis of Earth's food and energy ...

Proteoforms, the diverse molecular variants of proteins, are key to understanding cellular functions, disease mechanisms, and ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...

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 ...

This fully updated volume explores a wide array of new and state-of-the-art tools and resources for protein function prediction. Beginning with in-depth overviews of essential underlying computational ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

In genetics, one harmful variant can be enough to cause disease—but two can make it far more severe. One notable example is KJ, an infant diagnosed with a rare urea cycle disorder with a grim ...

Can you have too much protein, do some people need more than others, and what are the best protein sources? A bariatric ...
