The researchers developed a protein mimicking IL-2 with one of these switches. In vitro, with a high concentration of the effector molecule, all of the designed IL-2 mimic proteins can dissociate from ...

RNA-protein interactions regulate many essential processes in cells, from turning genes on and off to responding to stress. But until now, scientists could only capture small subsets of these ...

A first thought when describing a rock formation likely isn't a mille-feuille, but there are actually certain types composed of many thin layers that bring the flaky pastry to mind. Not only that—but ...

Scientists from The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center—Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC–James) report key findings about the underlying ...

Bacteria insert proteins into their outer membrane using a highly conserved apparatus known as the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM). A large group of bacteria with particularly complex outer-membrane ...

This gear for your home, your office, and the great outdoors treads gently on the planet without sacrificing design, comfort, or usability.

Abnormal proteins found in brain disorders like Alzheimer’s Disease are a surprisingly likely key to the first life here on Earth, says a molecular neurobiologist.

Overview: Quantum computing holds potential to speed up complex protein structure modeling.Current limitations keep it more theoretical than practical in real-w ...

Angel Martí, chair of Rice University’s Department of Chemistry, is leading efforts to highlight chemistry’s role in advancing brain health research. With Texas voters set to decide on Proposition 14 ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers have revealed that amyloid fibrils formed by necroptosis mediators, RIPK1 and RIPK3, don't just form within ...

Before a chain of amino acids can become an active and useful protein, it must be processed and folded into the appropriate conformation. Much of this processing occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum ...
