Researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell proliferation. Researchers have determined ...

A research team has developed an innovative technique that enables precise modification of specific proteins within complex biological environments. A research team led by Professor Seung Soo Oh and ...

Pharmaceutical scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a novel chemical reaction that enables the precise functionalization of peptides and proteins. This approach ...

Proteins are among the most studied molecules in biology, yet new research from the University of Göttingen shows they can still hold surprising secrets. Researchers have discovered previously ...

Itaconate, an endogenous mitochondrial metabolite produced by the enzyme aconitate decarboxylase 1 (ACOD1), has emerged as a central regulator of ...

Diseases that affect the brain and spinal cord can be particularly devastating, and finding new and more effective ways to treat these conditions is an important goal for researchers and clinicians ...

Certain diseases, including Alzheimer’s, are currently considered “undruggable” because traditional small molecule drugs can’t interfere with the proteins responsible for the illnesses. But a new ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Protein-based nanomaterials that respond to light are emerging as candidates for integrating biological compatibility with programmable electronic behavior. Their appeal lies in ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production ...

Expression proteomics determines where and when proteins are expressed and measures their quantities. This qualitative and quantitative approach can compare protein expression across conditions, such ...
