Protein drugs feature significant advantages over small molecule therapeutics, including low toxicity, high specificity, and development speed. However, the quality control requirements are ...

Membrane proteins are vital for cellular signaling, transport, and communication, making them attractive drug targets despite their challenging properties. Advances in mass spectrometry have enabled ...

Proteins play a key role in the life sciences - from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Scientists at the Technical University of ...

Researchers have developed a method to evaluate the folding stability of a million proteins simultaneously. DNA libraries were used to generate protein -- DNA complexes that were treated with enzymes ...

An innovative machine learning approach has been shown to rapidly predict multiple protein configurations. A new paper presents the method that predicts the relative populations of protein ...

Proteins are made of chains of amino acids, and a basic tenet of biology is that the sequence of amino acids determines how a protein folds into a 3D shape which, in turn, dictates the protein’s ...

Counting calories and eating a high protein diet, both ways help in weight loss. There are specific reasons that make each ...

Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at ...

Understanding the structure of proteins is critical for demystifying their functions and developing drugs that target them. To that end, a team of researchers at Brown University has developed a way ...
