For many people, "protein" is the key element of a food order. However, beyond the preferred choice of meats or plant-based ...
University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have developed a bold new approach to drug development and discovery ...
Proteins are far more than nutrients we track on a food label. Present in every cell of our bodies, they work like nature's ...
Jacobs School researchers have shown how an electron diffraction technique can quickly and efficiently create high-resolution ...
In an ambitious collaboration, researchers added 1.8 million high-confidence protein complex structure predictions to the AlphaFold Database, accelerating molecular biology research.
When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...
When oil is dropped in water, the oil droplets stay separate. Cells can also use a system like this to separate or gather ...
Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors. This approach could ...
Can mirror proteins cure Alzheimer's? Scientists used "right-handed" amino acids to trap amyloid-beta proteins. This breakthrough in molecular recognition offers a new way to target "undruggable" ...
