Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational chemistry, is not unlike using the Rosetta Stone to unlock the secrets of ancient ...

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 ...

Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a ...

Research led by scientists at Washington State University has revealed insights on how plants form a microscopic landscape of proteins crucial to photosynthesis, the basis of Earth's food and energy ...

Alzheimer's disease affects an estimated 7.2 million Americans age 65 and older, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Current tests often measure the levels of two proteins-amyloid beta (Aβ) and ...

Scientists develop a blood test that detects Alzheimer’s by measuring protein structural changes rather than protein quantity.

Scientists have developed a new blood test that could spot Alzheimer’s earlier by detecting hidden changes in how proteins fold in the bloodstream.

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a protein and alter its function. A team at HZB has now investigated the Nsp1 ...
