Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

The upper right portion illustrates viral nucleosome-like particles formed by co-occurring viral histone triplets and singlets. On the lower right, a network depicts distinct types of viral ...

This article was originally featured on Knowable Magazine. Every second, as we breathe, sleep, eat and go about our lives, millions of biochemical reactions are happening in our cells. Among the hurly ...

A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...

Proteins need to fold into specific shapes to perform their functions in cells, but they occasionally misfold, which can ...

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. It involves the systematic identification, quantification, and analysis of the entire protein complement ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

Using a new method, researchers can measure alterations in the social network of proteins in cells. This work lays the foundation for the development of new drugs to treat diseases such as cancer and ...

The protein factories in our cells – so-called ribosomes – have a central task: during a process known as translation, amino acids are linked together ...
