Researchers have unveiled the first real look at a mitochondrial protein strongly linked to Parkinson's disease, revealing ...

From growth hormones to cancer drugs, small molecules play a crucial role in our health. Monitoring them is essential to ...

Scientists have finally pinned down a protein that’s largely responsible for Parkinson’s disease. Known as PINK1, the protein ...

Every organism on Earth is a well-oiled machine in its own environment. It makes sense then that every piece of every process ...

A plant-based diet can make it tricky to hit your protein goal. Here's the low-down on protein-rich foods for vegans.

Metamorphic proteins are known to change shape in response to various environmental “triggers”—such as changes in acidity or oxidation—but Orban’s and LiWang’s theory takes this one step further.

Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions.

A new theory suggests temperature controls how metamorphic proteins shapeshift, with colder temperatures promoting ...

Researchers suggest that many metamorphic proteins have an 'underlying temperature dependence.' If confirmed, this would mean that temperature -- and cold temperature in particular -- plays a ...
