Dps proteins (DNA-binding proteins from starved cells) are vital components in the defence strategies of bacteria facing environmental stress. These proteins not only bind and compact chromosomal DNA, ...

A new artificial intelligence model can predict how different proteins may bind to DNA. A new artificial intelligence model developed by USC researchers and published in Nature Methods can predict how ...

A new artificial intelligence model developed by USC researchers and published in Nature Methods can predict how different proteins may bind to DNA with accuracy across different types of protein, a ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving ...

In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells. How genes are turned on ...

Biomedical engineers have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, such as ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing ...

If parent cells and their daughter cells are to share a stable identity, parent cells must divide—and replicate their DNA—while ensuring that their histones are distributed properly to their daughter ...
