Proteins often function in pairs or groups, concealing their internal connection points and making it difficult for ...

When cancer-driving proteins resist various treatments, Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a new solution. Don ...

Inspired by the simple mechanism of a seesaw—when one side goes up, the other side goes down—researchers asked an intriguing ...

HYDRACs are a class of proteomimetic polymers designed to mark harmful proteins, like MYC and KRAS, for destruction rather than merely block their activity.

Cells constantly monitor and recycle their proteins through a tightly regulated waste-disposal system. Proteins that are no ...

Scientists have identified a conserved aging-related protein, EPS8, that promotes toxic protein aggregation linked to neurodegenerative diseases.

An Oregon State University scientist and a team of undergraduate students have uncovered real-time insights into a chemical process linked with Alzheimer's disease, paving the way toward better drug ...

Protein misfolding and aggregation are key features observed in numerous neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The oligomers formed during the aggregation process ...

The study results, published June 5 in The EMBO Journal, shed new light, researchers say, on the way the altered mitochondrial membranes found in people with metabolic diseases such as Barth syndrome, ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Finally, although transgenic animals and mammalian cell culture systems promote optimal expression due to correct protein modifications, ...
