Inside every human cell, proteins are constantly being tagged with small chemical modifications after they're produced. Known as post-translational modifications, or PTMs, these can change how a ...

New research reveals that subtle chemical changes to proteins after synthesis play a critical role in determining ...

Protein changes matter: Scripps Research showed that post-translational modifications can make proteins more or less responsive to drug-like molecules, affecting treatment success. Genetics meets ...

There is no known cure for Huntington's disease. A genetic mutation creates harmful proteins that accumulate and cause the disease's typical symptoms. A team from the Department of Human Genetics at ...

One of the first things that students learn when they enter a biology class is the central dogma: DNA → messenger RNA → proteins. Only about 3% of the human genome directly codes for proteins, which ...
