Researchers have developed a method for studying an important, yet often overlooked, posttranslational modification.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of tubulin, including acetylation, glutamylation and detyrosination, play a critical role in dictating the dynamic behaviour and specialised functions of ...

Lactylation, a recently identified post-translational modification, has emerged as important for immune regulation, tissue repair, cancer cell metabolism, and now, potentially, Alzheimer’s disease. In ...

One of the first things that students learn when they enter a biology class is the central dogma: DNA → messenger RNA → proteins. Only about 3% of the human genome directly codes for proteins, which ...

In the intricate regulation of inflammation, metabolic reprogramming and posttranslational modification (PTM) have emerged as pivotal players, offering new avenues for understanding the fine-tuned ...

A research team led by Purdue University's W. Andy Tao has discovered a new type of protein modification related to cellular ...

Unlike bacteria or yeast, moss can produce large polypeptides of human collagen along with the post-translational modifications that make it stable and bioactive.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called DeepMVP and ...

A worldwide study involving 12 research groups has confirmed that capillary zone electrophoresis combined with mass ...

An Iowa State University research team has discovered a method for modifying the function of an enzyme crucial to fat production, which could lead to more effective treatments for childhood obesity ...
