A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics. Many ...
Mutations to the protein SPOP are widespread in cancer, yet many remain poorly understood. To address this gap, St. Jude ...
A nerve cell resembles a vast tree with branches that communicate with thousands of other cells. To function, it depends on a ...
Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the membrane proteins myoferlin and dysferlin using high-resolution cryo-electron ...
Human proteins identified that explain inter-individual differences in functional brain connectivity
A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. A study now identifies, ...
Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each performing a specialized function. Researchers have long known that the ...
Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...
They are the cell's "gatekeepers": specialized proteins, known as transporters, selectively control which substances enter a ...
A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale. "A central goal of ...
