Researchers have created a deep learning pipeline for designing soluble analogues of key protein structures used in pharmaceutical development, sidestepping the prohibitive cost of extracting these ...

Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins: when molecules of a drug candidate bind to these proteins, like a key going into a lock, they trigger ...

Some bacterial membrane transporters work almost like freight elevators to transport substances through the cell membrane into the interior of the cell. The transporter itself spans the bacterial ...

UV-ready real-time PCR systems, together with alternative fluorescent dyes, facilitate sensitive and reliable thermal-shift ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers from the United States of America developed the synthetic intramembrane proteolysis receptor (SNIPR) architecture to activate engineered ...

Many diseases are initiated from molecular events that take place at the cell membrane level. The membrane plays a critical role in cell communication and is the launching point for many vital ...

Oxygen is essential for life on Earth, but it also gives rise to free radicals, unstable molecules that can damage cells. Antioxidants are chemical compounds that protect cells by neutralizing free ...
