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

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a biochemical technique that captures fleeting ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an ...

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 the chemical characteristics.

AHNAK, a colossal scaffolding protein of approximately 700 kDa, has emerged as a critical player in various cellular functions, most notably in the regulation of cell architecture, signalling and ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new ...

Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this ...

A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function – it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional ...

Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...

Scientists have long been trying to tease apart hepatitis A virus, to understand its inner workings and how it functions in the human body. Infectious disease researchers have discovered that a little ...
