Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a biochemical technique that captures fleeting ...

A team of US researchers has gained new insights into how large protein molecules consistently fold themselves into useful shapes. Using a new approach to fluorescence microscopy, Hoi Sung Chung and ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

The collaboration targets disease areas where conventional small molecule drug discovery has faced challenges.

Chung’s group captured the transition period directly by improving the time resolution of a method called single-molecule ...

Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of ...

A new study shows that improving your cardiovascular endurance changes your neural chemistry. Fitter individuals release ...

Proteoforms, the diverse molecular variants of proteins, are key to understanding cellular functions, disease mechanisms, and biomarker discovery in proteomics.

In people destined to get Alzheimer's in their mid-40s, one protein can delay the onset of the disease by about 20 years.

Scientists have identified a critical breakdown in the cellular machinery that produces proteins in aging brains.

Dental pulp injury caused by trauma or deep caries often leads to inflammation, tissue necrosis, and eventual loss of tooth ...

For years, researchers have suspected that a hormone called relaxin could be an effective treatment for certain ...
