A microscopic topographic map of cellular function
In a new study, scientists from the University of Missouri have mapped how materials in cells travel. They determined the mechanisms underlying protein translocation...
Predicting the properties of disordered polymers
In a new study, scientists used a combination of theory, experiment, and simulation to read patterns on long chains of molecules to understand and...
Directed evolution method can engineer synthetic nanoparticles
Mimicking natural evolution, directed evolution guides the synthesis of proteins with improved or new functions. The technique is powerful enough that it can engineer...
Working proteins make good use of frustration
Proteins- active sites of enzymes- accelerates and guide biochemical reactions make life possible. To do this, their instructions have to conflict somewhat with the...
New method identifies how drugs attack bad cells
A team of scientists at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has demonstrated a new method to target specific proteins, protein family and especially protein-to-protein...
Scientists found a new way to create designer human proteins
Proteins are essential for life functions. Most human proteins are changed by a procedure called serine phosphorylation. Glitches in this procedure have been embroiled in...
High protein diet slightly increases heart failure risk in middle-aged men
A new study by the University of Eastern Finland suggests that intaking higher amounts of protein was associated with a slightly elevated risk for heart failure...
Treatment that Destroy Cancer Cells by Themselves
Cancer cells can grow any place in the body and crowds out normal cells. This causes problems in the part of the body where cancer started....
Computer Model to Control Proteins at a Long Distance
Proteins are involved in every biological process. It increases the rate of virtually all the chemical reactions within cells. Because of its fundamental properties, drug...
