Researchers have conducted the most comprehensive analysis to date linking plasma proteins to genetic variation in ...

In the early 1990s, protein biologists invested in solving a challenge that had riddled them for decades. The protein folding problem centered on the idea that biologists should be able to predict the ...

Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of ...

Biophysicists have designed a new cell-like transport system that represents an important milestone on the road to artificial cells. Biophysicists have designed a new cell-like transport system that ...

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

A study in fruit flies suggests an internal genomic arms race may be driving rapid evolution in proteins that still perform an essential, unchanging job: protecting chromosome ends.

CCN proteins, a family of matricellular regulatory molecules, have emerged as pivotal modulators within the tumour microenvironment. Their functions extend beyond mere structural roles; they influence ...

Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...

Proteins are important molecules—but they aren’t the only molecules in a cell, and they don’t operate alone. In a new preprint, the team behind the protein structure prediction software RoseTTAFold ...

Thirty years ago, when I began studying protein metabolism, I would never have guessed that 2025 would be spent explaining ...
