Proteins often function in pairs or groups, concealing their internal connection points and making it difficult for ...

Harvard University researchers have developed a cathodoluminescence-based multicolour electron microscopy technique that ...

Cells constantly monitor and recycle their proteins through a tightly regulated waste-disposal system. Proteins that are no ...

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 ...

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors. This approach could ...

Inspired by the simple mechanism of a seesaw—when one side goes up, the other side goes down—researchers asked an intriguing ...

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.
