Scientists have figured out how ladybugs fold their wings by transplanting a transparent artificial wing onto the insect and observing its underlying folding mechanism. The study's findings, which ...

GroEL is thought to assist protein folding in part by providing a passive 'box' in which folding can occur without danger of aggregation. Two new papers now suggest that GroEL can also play a more ...

While studying how memories are formed and stored in the brain, a team identified a novel protein folding mechanism that is essential for long term memory storage. The researchers further demonstrated ...
