Our cells rely on microscopic highways and specialized protein vehicles to move everything—from positioning organelles to carting protein instructions to disposing of cellular garbage. These highways ...

Researchers have captured a time-resolved video of a protein interaction essential to healthy brain development.

These fundamental findings offer a novel mechanism by which rubrerythrin tubules encapsulate encapsulin to prevent oxidative stress in Pyrococcus furiosus. However, there are a few reasonable concerns ...

This useful manuscript describes cryo-EM structures of archaeal proteasomes that reveal insights into how occupancy of binding pockets on the 20S protease regulates proteasome gating. The evidence ...

Rice grain size is regulated by the G-protein subunit GS3, which forms oligomers via disulfide bonds, reducing its interaction with RGB1 and lessening its suppression of grain elongation.

Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the ...

A new study in Small introduces a modular protein-DNA platform using covalent, site-specific links to create programmable ...

F protein-subunit based vaccines, adjuvants & potency Both prefusion and postfusion F protein vaccines are being tested in clinical trials. Previous studies showed that alum had a modest effect on ...

First discovered in 2001, the protein PINK1 has been directly linked to Parkinson ... researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) have determined the structure of ...
