The assembly pathway behind refractile-body proteins may have finally been resolved, researchers from Science Tokyo report.

On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

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 ...

Thousands of protein pairs from disease-causing viruses, such as monkeypox virus, have been added to the protein-structure database AlphaFold. Credit: Kateryna Kon/SPL A database of predicted ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps explain how these tumors resist environmental stress and thrive in acidic, low ...

A Baylor College of Medicine-led team has developed a strategy that combines the analysis of thousands of proteins with ...

Watermarks have long protected everything from bank notes and fine art to digital photographs and software, helping prove ...

The protein 'MIPS' changes its internal structure when it becomes active. Its disordered active centre becomes a defined structure with special functions. The protein plays a key role in the ...

When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...

Aphids are among the most quietly destructive forces in agriculture, draining sap from crops and manipulating the very plants ...

In Greek mythology, Proteus, son of Poseidon and prophetic shepherd of sea-beasts, could foretell the future. The elusive sea god was difficult to capture as he assumed many forms—a lion, a serpent, ...

A new review shows that the value of edible insect proteins depends less on the bugs themselves than on how processing shapes ...
