Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational ...

Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

Today, there is still a common belief that protein builds muscle. The “pre-game steak” was a regimen that many athletes ...

Hidden in volcanic lakes and deep-sea vents, scientists have discovered tough new DNA-binding proteins built to survive extreme conditions. After scanning huge genetic databases, researchers found ...

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending the gut. The protein strengthens the mucus layer that lines the ...

New UC Riverside-led research suggests Alzheimer’s arises not simply from plaques forming in the brain, as is widely believed, but from one protein interfering with the normal job of another ...

In its purest form (with no extra debris), liquid water can exist as a liquid until -40°C if left still (unmoving). In order ...

Scientists have built atom-sized pores that act like living ion channels, opening the door to next-generation nanotech.

Michael Martynowycz, PhD, assistant professor of structural biology at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, recently described a new technique for solving protein structures in a rec ...

A newly identified role for the neuronal MPS shows it controls nutrient uptake by acting as a gatekeeper. Its disruption ...
