Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

Whether you’re interested in why a living system works as it does or the reasons it goes awry, proteins are a critical part of the molecular picture. The proteins circulating in a person’s plasma can ...

Life’s most indispensable molecules are not the serene, unchanging fixtures they might appear to be. Even the proteins that ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

The body uses protein-based molecular motors to perform functions essential to life. Now, researchers have created ‘The Lawnmower,’ the first synthetic motor modeled on those found in nature that ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Finally, although transgenic animals and mammalian cell culture systems promote optimal expression due to correct protein modifications, ...

Undruggable targets typically refer to a class of therapeutic targets that are difficult to target through conventional methods or have not yet been targeted, but are of great clinical significance.

Prof. Debra Toiber and her team at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have identified a precise mechanism behind this loss of ...

The questions of how humankind came to be, and whether we are alone in the universe, have captured imaginations for millennia. But to answer these questions, scientists must first understand life ...
