Proteins carry out exceptionally diverse molecular functions—even though they are all built on an unvarying polyamide backbone. How much more chemical diversity might be unlocked by editing that ...

Inside our cells, ribosomes—the tireless "protein factories" of life—have just shown off a new skill they haven't used in billions of years. A research team has become the first in the world to ...

A relatively simple peptide modification could unlock a whole class of targets for drug discovery, new research shows. Researchers at the University of Birmingham, in collaboration with the ...

A pore smaller than one nanometer reads peptide sequences amino acid by amino acid, pinpointing single-site Alzheimer's mutations and modifications with single-residue resolution.
