For decades, the story of Alzheimer's research has been dominated by a battle between A-beta and tau amyloids, both of which ...

Scientists have discovered how a key protein helps maintain strong connections between brain cells that are crucial for ...

While their functions are diverse, myosins are similar in structure. NMII is so much like cardiac myosin, which keeps the ...

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 ...

Scientists’ Work on Protein Structure, Which Governs All Aspects of Life, Wins Nobel Prize in Chemistry David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper revealed how amino acids shape protein ...

The study reveals 44 differentially expressed proteins in cleft palate models, shedding light on molecular mechanisms and ...

The system analyzes cryo-EM images and identifies the individual atoms and their positions within a protein complex, even when there's no prior knowledge of the structure.

Designing proteins that can change their structure, and ultimately function, in response to specific molecular signals, a phenomenon known as allosteric regulation, has been a long-standing goal ...

Mutation E334Q in cytoskeletal γ-actin leads to impaired interaction of actin filaments with actin-binding proteins belonging to the myosin and ADF/cofilin families.

Myosin protein structure was not found to differ in active and hibernating states in bigger hibernators and therefore suggests that Myh2 hyper-phosphorylation is associated with torpor, rather than ...

They also analysed the structure of the two proteins in the brown bear, finding no structural differences between SA and hibernation. They therefore conclude that Myh2 hyper-phosphorylation is ...
