Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

How the proteins in our bodies bind together to form protein complexes plays a critical role in numerous cell functions—staving off diseases, for instance, or transporting ions across cell membranes.

A new laser technique decodes molecular vibrations to predict whether a drug will be effective, potentially cutting years ...

After nearly four decades of research, Mayo Clinic scientists have revealed the molecular structures of protein kinase C beta ...

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. It involves the systematic identification, quantification, and analysis of the entire protein complement ...

Some proteins in human cells that are implicated in cancer also have causal roles in neurodevelopmental disorders, raising the possibility of repurposing targeted cancer therapies to help address ...

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 ...

Scientists at Baylor College of Medicine may have uncovered a promising new way to combat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease ...

Protein supplements are now mainstream, but concerns about kidney health persist. For individuals with healthy kidneys, high ...
