For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

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

A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function—it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...

Researchers have created nanoparticles that can remove disease-driving proteins while also delivering a chemotherapeutic or ...

AHNAK, a colossal scaffolding protein of approximately 700 kDa, has emerged as a critical player in various cellular functions, most notably in the regulation of cell architecture, signalling and ...

Large protein machines in the body carry out many of the cell's most essential tasks, from energy production to the ...

A newly identified role for the neuronal MPS shows it controls nutrient uptake by acting as a gatekeeper. Its disruption ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics.

Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...
