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 ...

A quick, purification-free method was developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, to capture the detailed 3D structures of flexible sugar molecules. By growing crystals of galectin-10 ...

Deciphering the building blocks of life has long been a painstaking process, but now a quiet revolution in computing power is changing everything – with research at the University of Otago’s Faculty ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) and the Cancer Research Institute at Kanazawa University have ...

By extending a naturally rigid bacterial protein by 50% while preserving geometry and stability, the study introduces protein ...

By determining the structure of the deposits responsible for transthyretin amyloidosis through a simple skin biopsy, scientists at UNIGE are paving the way for a new diagnostic method for ...
