Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these ...

Proteins are fundamental biomolecules that perform a broad range of vital functions within the human body. They serve as an essential structural and functional component of cells, tissues and organs ...

it can also be used to answer basic questions that probe relationships between individual amino acids and protein structure or function. Here we will focus on this application, highlighting recent ...

A team from Fujita Health University developed a computational model to simulate the formation of protein condensates at ...

The sequence of amino acids in the chain determines how the chain will fold up to make the protein, so different proteins have different three-dimensional shapes. The three-dimensional shape of a ...

Why do problems occur with a special variant of 'protein glues', the split inteins, that severely limit their use in producing proteins? A team has now answered this question.

A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. This new structural and ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that ...

“Every cell in the human body contains protein,” Shah says. “The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids and we need it in our diet to help our body repair cells, and build ...
