Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is one of the most important processes in our cells to ensure that no faulty or incomplete ...

Proteins and peptides form the cornerstone of cellular function, serving not only as essential catalysts and structural components but also as mediators of signalling and regulation in health and ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a potential new strategy to fight back against Alzheimer's and ...

A protein that is a key modulator of fat, glucose and cholesterol levels in the body usually works in tandem with another ...

Researchers from the MPI of Biochemistry and the Technical University of Munich have discovered new diagnostic markers for multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that affects 3 million people worldwide.

In Greek mythology, Proteus, son of Poseidon and prophetic shepherd of sea-beasts, could foretell the future. The elusive sea god was difficult to capture as he assumed many forms—a lion, a serpent, ...

Sometimes, life can be a real drag—especially if you’re a protein weighed down by unwanted baggage. Researchers have unveiled evidence that these ponderous proteins could be involved in a range of ...

Saint Louis University’s Protein Core is a shared-use core facility that supports expression, purification and analysis of reagent and preclinical proteins. The core provides instrumentation and ...

A person standing on a ladder in a building hallway examining what might be a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide detectors are common and effective, yet the poisonous gas still kills tens of ...

A test measuring proteins in spinal fluid may help support the diagnosis of MS, especially in patients whose disease is harder to diagnose.
