Researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine Barcelona have identified how a therapeutic compound binds to a ...

Hidden in volcanic lakes and deep-sea vents, scientists have discovered tough new DNA-binding proteins built to survive extreme conditions. After scanning huge genetic databases, researchers found ...

A study has found that an ancient protein motif that binds to nucleic acids is functionally "ambidextrous." This means that the motif can interact with both natural and mirror-image nucleic acids, an ...

Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

Protein design is crucial for the treatment of human diseases, but traditional protein design methods have some limitations. Site-directed mutagenesis is highly dependent on the physiological ...

Targeted protein degradation is a therapeutic strategy that utilizes the cell’s natural machinery to eliminate disease-causing proteins. The field traces its origins to the development of thalidomide ...

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending the gut. The protein strengthens the mucus layer that lines the ...

Scientists discover ALS protein that links DNA repair to cancer and dementia: Study ...

AI protein function prediction uses machine learning models trained on sequence and structural data to infer protein roles at ...
