Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

A sensor that requires no nanoscale patterning detects single molecules of a breast cancer protein at concentrations 250 ...

Whether you’re interested in why a living system works as it does or the reasons it goes awry, proteins are a critical part of the molecular picture. The proteins circulating in a person’s plasma can ...

Misfolded proteins can appear as small aggregates, soluble monomers, or large insoluble inclusion bodies. While the fundamental biophysical mechanisms that cause cytotoxicity are not fully understood, ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Finally, although transgenic animals and mammalian cell culture systems promote optimal expression due to correct protein modifications, ...
