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 ...

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 ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

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 ...

Quantum physics is no longer confined to cryogenic chips and vacuum chambers. It is starting to seep into the machinery of ...

New work could help produce more effective future anti-aging treatments. The way the body ages could be more resilient than previously thought, a new study suggests. Published in the Journal of the ...

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 ...

Proteins form the building blocks of life, but when they form unusual clumps inside the brain, they raise an alarm that something isn't right.
