Proteins play a key role in the life sciences—from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and ...

A basic business principle is that no worker is irreplaceable; that also holds true for most proteins, the cellular factory workers of our bodies. If we fire a protein—that is, permanently ...

Specifically, the researchers focused on molecular motor proteins called kinesin and dynein, both of which are fundamental to transportation within all cells, including neurons.

Molecular double agent: Protein 'Eato' plays surprising role in protecting the brain by Henry C. Smith, Cornell University ...

A University of California, Riverside-led team has made an advance in the basic understanding of Plasmodium falciparum, the ...

Molecular farming is a promising technique that enables the production of biopharmaceuticals and other high value compounds in plants.

How do memories last a lifetime when the molecules that form them turn over within days, weeks or months? An interaction between two proteins points to a molecular basis for memory.

Myelin basic protein is a prime example of a disordered protein. This “molecular glue” in the fatty insulating sheath around neurons must be adaptable to forming unique neural circuitry in ...

Huggins reported that, by means of a set of standard light-band masks, he can make a portrait of a molecule in half an hour. * The tobacco mosaic virus, a “giant” protein molecule eleven ...
