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 ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

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 ...

Scientists organize millions of proteins by shape, as predicted by AI, revealing 700,000 new families and some shapes unique ...

Researchers in Japan have shown that the mitochondrial protein COX7RP extends healthy lifespan in mice by enhancing ...

Researchers from the University of Arizona have uncovered how a protein complex, known for regulating cell growth and adjusting metabolism, functions in a more complex manner.

Proteins need to fold into specific shapes to perform their functions in cells, but they occasionally misfold, which can ...

“Other signs of prolonged insufficient protein intake include leg swelling, anemia, and poor wound healing,” Jones adds.

Protein is an essential nutrient and the body needs it to repair muscles, and preserve lean mass. Despite the abundance of ...
