In an ambitious collaboration, researchers added 1.8 million high-confidence protein complex structure predictions to the ...

Toward the goal of efficient editing of farm animals for genetic improvements, this study explores an upgraded form of nuclease PE (uPEn). Based on the resolved structure of the NiV polymerase L-P ...

They build our bodies and orchestrate the molecular processes in cells that keep them healthy. They also present a wealth of targets for new medications. From everyday pain relievers to sophisticated ...

Jacobs School researchers have shown how an electron diffraction technique can quickly and efficiently create high-resolution ...

In humans, hundreds of proteins interact in a complex network dubbed the interactome. Those interactions are further complicated when disease-causing mutations are introduced into genes that code for ...

Can mirror proteins cure Alzheimer's? Scientists used "right-handed" amino acids to trap amyloid-beta proteins. This breakthrough in molecular recognition offers a new way to target "undruggable" ...

Proteins are far more than nutrients we track on a food label. Present in every cell of our bodies, they work like nature's ...

Wildfire smoke is teeming with them. Researchers have employed them to develop energy-dense biofuels like rocket, marine, and jet fuels. Scientists have engineered rice paddies that interact ...

In A Nutshell Your sense of cold comes from a single protein, TRPM8, which opens in response to cool temperatures and menthol. New research shows this protein doesn’t just “switch on” but actually ...
