Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) are critical for biological systems to function properly. Strong interactions maintain structural integrity and function, whereas weaker interactions enable ...

Isomorphic Lab’s proprietary drug-discovery model is a major advance, but scientists developing open-source tools are left ...

Cells constantly monitor and recycle their proteins through a tightly regulated waste-disposal system. Proteins that are no ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

The Light-Activated BioID technique invented by biomedical engineers at UC Davis could enable studies of how proteins interact with each other inside cells. Biomedical engineers at UC Davis have come ...

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 ...

The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20100 ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Physical forces from gravity, muscle contraction, and more have strong impacts on how the cells in our bodies behave. For ...

In an intricate dance, missteps or errant gestures between two partners can disturb the entire ensemble. Such is the molecular dance that is life. Here, the partners that need to hit their cues, ...
