The collection of proteins within a cell determines its health and function. Proteins are responsible for nearly every task of cellular life, including cell shape and inner organization, product ...

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 ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have created a database that provides updated predicted structures on a ...

CHESTNUT HILL, MA (9-26-01) -- New findings from a team of chemists based at Boston College shed light on the role of the protein dynamics and solvent in protein function. Drs. Martha Teeter, Akihito ...

A major scientific advance in protein modeling developed by Microsoft Research AI for Science, has been published in Science. The study introduces BioEmu, a generative deep learning system that ...

Scientists have discovered that a human receptor protein has the ability to detect individual amino acids in exactly the same way that bacteria do. The finding could lead to enhancements of drugs ...

A University of Alberta research team has uncovered a new role for a genetic mutation previously known to be linked to developmental disorders—and it could hold the key to more effective treatments ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — If you’re an avid reader of science news, you’ve probably heard of viral proteins such as the COVID-19 spike protein. Lesser known, perhaps, in the anatomy of viruses are a class of ...

When proteins within the body get tagged with a molecule called ubiquitin, they are essentially marked for destruction. But they can be saved; a deubiquitinase enzyme can remove the ubiquitin, keeping ...

Clumps and tangles of tau protein are associated with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, but tau protein also plays a role in healthy nerve cells. Healthy tau can assemble into an envelope ...

A fluorescent tag, commonly referred to as a label or probe, is a fluorophore that may be used to determine the distribution and quantity of a particular target biomolecule both in vitro and in vivo, ...
