Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) and the Cancer Research Institute at Kanazawa University led have uncovered how targeted lung cancer drugs alter the shape and behavior of a ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...

Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

Jia’s team developed a protocol to improve the screening of protein pockets. This involved identifying the pockets, removing ...

One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the clumping of proteins called Tau, which form tangled fibrils in the brain.

Scientists at Walter and Elizabeth Hall Institute (WEHI) have made what they describe as a huge leap forward in the fight against Parkinson’s disease, solving a decades-long mystery by determining the ...

Protein scientists could improve reproducibility and coordination across the field by rallying around a small, shared set of ...

Deciphering the building blocks of life has long been a painstaking process, but now a quiet revolution in computing power is changing everything – with research at the University of Otago’s Faculty ...

Many people still don’t understand how protein works, why it matters or the best ways to get enough of it in their diet. Here ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...
