For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function—it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a biochemical technique that captures fleeting ...

AHNAK, a colossal scaffolding protein of approximately 700 kDa, has emerged as a critical player in various cellular functions, most notably in the regulation of cell architecture, signalling and ...

A newly identified role for the neuronal MPS shows it controls nutrient uptake by acting as a gatekeeper. Its disruption ...

Large protein machines in the body carry out many of the cell's most essential tasks, from energy production to the ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics.

A protein long studied for its role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia now appears to serve a ...

Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...

Researchers have created nanoparticles that can remove disease-driving proteins while also delivering a chemotherapeutic or ...

Cancers emerge from many different paths. One path begins early, in embryonic development, when a protein complex called PRC2 ...
