Protein function prediction and annotation represent critical challenges in the post‐genomic era. As high‐throughput sequencing continues to generate vast amounts of protein data, computational ...

The framework predicts how proteins will function with several interacting mutations and finds combinations that work well ...

The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body's ...

A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that draws logical inferences about the function of unknown proteins promises to help scientists unravel the inner workings of the cell. A new artificial ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

In addition to exporting materials out of the nucleus, the protein, called Exportin-1 (also called Xpo1 or Crm1), seems to play a role in promoting gene transcription, the process that creates RNA ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

Proteins often function in pairs or groups, concealing their internal connection points and making it difficult for ...

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.

A tiny region in a little-known muscle protein may hold the key to a healthy, steady heartbeat, as well as possible clues to ...
