Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in ...

Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a hidden molecular "control switch" inside a protein that helps the body ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Significance: The development of SIFA and LipoFRET represents a significant advancement in the field of membrane protein research. These techniques offer valuable tools for understanding the structure ...

Researchers have identified a single protein whose absence can cripple tumors in mice, slowing their growth and in some cases ...

These images captured using high-speed atomic force microscopy, represent the snapshots of the protein substrate getting translocated through the SecYEG-SecA complex. The left image indicates the ...

A metallic molecule being studied at Rice University begins to glow when bound to amyloid protein fibrils of the sort implicated in Alzheimer's disease. When triggered with ultraviolet light, the ...

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that a ...

One way scientists hope to learn more about the mysteries of the human body is by analyzing the structure of proteins, of which the vital parts of all living creatures are made. The job is complicated ...

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 ...
