The building blocks of proteins, amino acids, are essential for all living things. Twenty different amino acids build the ...

Disulfide bonds play a pivotal role in the folding and stability of many bacterial proteins, influencing not only their tertiary structure but also their biological activity. In bacteria, the ...

A new study shows p62-mediated Mallory-Denk body formation is an adaptive, protective response to alcohol-induced liver ...

A novel study uncovers how a subtle chemical tweak transforms the naturally occurring phytotoxin into a powerful molecular glue, 12-deoxyfusicoccin (12-dFC), that locks 14-3-3 proteins onto the ...

Paired Box 3 (PAX3) is a protein that plays a critical role in the formation of tissues and organs during embryonic development and can positively (and less frequently, negatively) regulate gene ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...

In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers reported that microfibril-associated protein 5 (MFAP5) mediates wound healing through its pro-fibrotic effect by modulating collagen ...

Interfacial stress analysis is an important step when evaluating the ability of various polysorbates (PS) to mitigate formation of subvisible and visible protein particles at the air/water interface ...

Learn how a specific type of fungus can accelerate ice formation at subzero temperatures and lead to advances in technology, such as cloud seeding.

An international team of researchers has discovered mushroom proteins capable of triggering the ice formation process even at ...
