Synaptic dysfunction heralds cognitive and behavioral decline in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Oligomers of Aβ, tau, and ɑ-synuclein may be to blame, but ...

(a–c) The 3D visualization of molecular docking modes of HXTL’s top four active components (luteolin, beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, quercetin) and top three HXTL-PMOP targets (IL6, AKT1, PI3K). (d) ...

Researchers at Northwestern University have discovered a concealed molecular "control switch" within a protein that plays a ...

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 ...

TRPM5 protein helps the body sense taste, control blood sugar and defend the gut. Scientists found hidden control site in ...

While teaching a genetics course at a community college in Knoxville Tennessee last year, Margaret Franzen-- now the program director of the BioMolecular Modeling center at the Milwakee School of ...

Traditional analog ELISA readout systems need great volumes, which inevitably dilute reaction products, adding the requirement of millions of enzyme labels to develop signals that can be detected with ...

The body uses protein-based molecular motors to perform functions essential to life. Now, researchers have created ‘The Lawnmower,’ the first synthetic motor modeled on those found in nature that ...

In the pharmaceutical discovery process, understanding a drug’s residence time—the duration a molecule remains bound to its ...
