Different DNA Structures Nucleate the Folding of Proteins to form specific complexes that modulate the readout of ...

Protein folding raises some of biology's greatest theoretical challenges. It also lies at the root of many diseases. For example, the fundamental question of whether a protein's final tertiary ...

A computational biology company that started in space tech is looking to change how biopharma finds disease targets by modeling how proteins behave.

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

Scientists discovered a role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells. Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in ...

Most of the activities that go on inside cells—the activities that keep us living, breathing, thinking animals—are handled by proteins. They allow cells to communicate with each other, run a cell’s ...

Researchers have developed a method to evaluate the folding stability of a million proteins simultaneously. DNA libraries were used to generate protein -- DNA complexes that were treated with enzymes ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the scientific landscape, offering fantastic solutions to some of the most pressing global challenges. From combating climate change to transforming ...

"The protein must backtrack in the folding process to correct the mistake, which takes time and is energetically expensive. The demonstration of this mechanism helps expand our understanding of how ...
