One scientist may have cracked the code to curing Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s—using a single molecular switch.

Researchers led by Université de Montréal pathology and cell-biology professor Marc Therrien have identified major structural ...

Centromeres, specialized regions located at the center of chromosomes, are critical for ensuring proper cell division. During ...

FVIII, the blood clotting protein missing in hemophilia A, adopts multiple shapes, making it more likely to be targeted by ...

Cohesin is a protein that forms a ring-shaped complex which wraps and alters the DNA molecule shape. It moves through the DNA ...

These fundamental findings offer a novel mechanism by which rubrerythrin tubules encapsulate encapsulin to prevent oxidative stress in Pyrococcus furiosus. However, there are a few reasonable concerns ...

A pioneering scientific breakthrough has made it possible to extract proteins from preserved soft tissues, including human ...

Newly discovered dibilinoxanthinin binds both yellow- and blue-hued molecules to camouflage upland green bush crickets ...

Scientists designed synthetic proteins that shift shape, mimicking natural proteins to perform advanced biological tasks.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But it takes millions of pictures to understand the intricate chemistry of an ...

Cohesin is a protein that forms a ring-shaped complex which wraps and alters the DNA molecule shape. It moves through the DNA and creates specific loops in the genetic material which determine the ...

This manuscript introduces a useful protein-stability-based fitness model for simulating protein evolution and unifying non-neutral models of molecular evolution with phylogenetic models. The model is ...
