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, ...
Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins are essential for successful chromosome transmission during replication and segregation of the genome in all organisms. SMC proteins were thought ...
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 ...
On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...
Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...
Scientists have developed molecular devices that can switch roles, behaving as memory, logic, or learning elements within the ...
Proteins are a bit like lights in your house. They have a job to do, and getting them to do it involves switching them on and off with other proteins or molecules. But it’s much easier to flip the ...
Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...
