Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are potent bronchoconstrictors, playing pivotal roles in inflammatory diseases. These lipid mediators exert their effects by activating two G protein-coupled receptors, ...

Is Rosalind Franklin a ghost that still haunts the history of genomic science? Alan Booth looks into her remarkable story ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these ...

Proteins are fundamental biomolecules that perform a broad range of vital functions within the human body. They serve as an essential structural and functional component of cells, tissues and organs ...

Our brain's remarkable ability to form and store memories has long fascinated scientists, yet most of the microscopic mechanisms behind memory and learning processes remain a mystery.

A new AI tool called RibbonFold is revolutionizing how scientists understand misfolded proteins linked to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Why do problems occur with a special variant of 'protein glues', the split inteins, that severely limit their use in producing proteins? A team has now answered this question.

You can listen to episodes here. A stroll through almost any major supermarket — where food labels tout grams of protein — bears witness to the trend. And why shouldn’t we be? Along with ...

Beneath the surface of the tiny, see-through worm Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers have found new clues about how certain ...

The world-famous mathematician Alan Turing found a possible mechanism for iconic animal patterns thanks to differential ...
