Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

For decades, scientists have known that a misbehaving protein sits at the heart of Parkinson’s disease, yet the precise chain ...

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

Researchers capture first-of-its-kind video of dynein–Lis1 protein interaction, supporting future drug development for neurological disorders. Our cells rely on microscopic highways and specialized ...

Washington State University researchers have found a way to modulate a common virus protein to prevent viruses from entering cells where it can cause illness, a discovery that could someday lead to ...

The human body and its organs are composed of a wide variety of cell types. Although all cells contain the same genes, they function very differently—partly because protein interactions differ between ...

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks represent the intricate web of physical contacts between proteins that orchestrate nearly every cellular process. Within these networks, protein ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and Vividion Therapeutics have identified chemical compounds that can precisely block the interaction between the major cancer-driving gene RAS, and a key ...

The procedure of lipid droplet protein co-immunoprecipitation. The experimental process includes ten steps that are indicated in the flowchart. These steps can be summarized into seven key components ...

Protein folding helpers such as TRiC and prefoldin (PFD) are crucial for the correct folding of many essential proteins. In a Nature study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks underpin the functional organisation of cells by mapping the myriad physical contacts between proteins. These networks are essential for understanding ...
