Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein synthesis right at the start. An international research team with significant ...

Transverse tubules (T-tubules) play a significant role in muscle contraction. However, the underlying mechanism of their ...

Researchers know that interfacial stress at the air-liquid interface contributes to protein particle formation and release into bulk product during the manufacturing of monoclonal antibodies and other ...

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 ...

Whenever you walk into a gym, you might see people holding shakers filled with whey protein. Whey protein is nothing but a ...

Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

Scientists have identified a protein that blocks the activity of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) by stopping them from maturing during the journey to sites of bone formation, a new study has found.
