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

Researchers say structure reveals many new ways to change PINK1, essentially switching it on, which will be "life-changing" for people with Parkinson’s disease.

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 ...

Mammalian genomes are organized by multi-level folding, yet how this organization contributes to cell type-specific transcription remain unclear. We uncovered that the nuclear protein SATB1 ...

A-listers are hailing ‘wellness coffee’ as a miracle elixir, but what exactly are the benefits? Nutritionist Louise Pyne ...

Breathing, eating, sleeping, running to Taco Bell in the middle of the night – none of these activities would be possible ...

Scientists have made enormous advances in understanding the structures of proteins over the past several decades. Imaging technologies like cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography help ...

When the x-rays strike the crystal, they are scattered ... molecules where people have solved the structure, we could build a database of dynamics with which we can really make computational ...

This process involves the formation of amyloid fibrils, crystal-like collections of misfolded proteins that clump together when the proteins are highly concentrated (supersaturated) in liquids ...
