A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics.

Researchers have created nanoparticles that can remove disease-driving proteins while also delivering a chemotherapeutic or ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Protein function prediction and annotation represent critical challenges in the post‐genomic era. As high‐throughput sequencing continues to generate vast amounts of protein data, computational ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics.

Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this ...

A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function - it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new ...

AI protein function prediction uses machine learning models trained on sequence and structural data to infer protein roles at ...

Optimal health is best supported by a balanced diet that includes adequate protein along with vegetables, vitamins, whole grains, and healthy fats. This balance helps prevent unnecessary strain on the ...
