The latest animation technology has revealed the molecular detail of how our bodies are protected from cancer by a key 'tumour suppressor' protein called p53. The new WEHI-TV animation visualises ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

Disulfide bonds play a pivotal role in the folding and stability of many bacterial proteins, influencing not only their tertiary structure but also their biological activity. In bacteria, the ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein synthesis right at the start. An international research team with significant ...

Membrane proteins are important drug targets, and more than half of all drugs target membrane proteins. High yield production of high quality functional membrane proteins is needed for efficient drug ...

Computational models show that even subtle modifications in the synaptic protein CaMKII completely alter the resulting protein structures. Given how the formation and stability of these structures ...
