A new study reveals a possible protein misfolding mechanism that may resolve a long-standing mystery of why certain proteins ...

Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions.

"A protein must fold properly to become an enzyme or signaling molecule or whatever its function may be—all the many things that proteins do in our bodies," said University of Illinois Urbana ...

A new study demonstrates a potential protein misfolding mechanism that could solve a decades-old mystery of why some proteins ...

Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions. This folding process occasionally goes awry, resulting in misfolded ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural RNA biomolecule to fold new building blocks, making protein synthesis ...

That paper revealed that an engineered metamorphic protein switched back and forth between folded states when researchers ...

A new theory suggests temperature controls how metamorphic proteins shapeshift, with colder temperatures promoting transformation. Researchers analyzed multiple protein pairs and found strong evidence ...

The latest version of Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs’ AlphaFold model can predict the structure and relationships not only of proteins, but “all of life’s molecules”, according to its ...

The team was able to reach protein yields at the pool stage that couldn’t be achieved previously with a random integration approach.
