Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in ...

Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a hidden molecular "control switch" inside a protein that helps the body ...

You think you’re fine. Your family and friends think you’re fine. But, just maybe, you’re not. Maybe you already have Alzheimer’s disease, but you just don’t know it yet, because it can begin ...

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 ...

The acquisition is centered on Dark Blue Therapeutics' small-molecule degrader of the MLLT1 and MLLT3 proteins, which is ...

Prof. Debra Toiber and her team at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have identified a precise mechanism behind this loss of tryptophan: the lack of the longevity-associated protein Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) ...

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 ...

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, ...
