In the earliest phase of creating human proteins, the protein complex NAC performs an essential task by starting the first ...

Two parallel experiments in protein self-assembly produced strikingly different results, demonstrating that protein designers ...

The first full-length structures of two heat shock chaperone proteins in a complex reveal the key structural region regulating their function, according to a new study from St. Jude Children's ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

The viral genome attracts proteins along its length, forming an initially disordered RNA-protein complex. The genome pulls proteins together, raises their local concentration, and acts as a scaffold ...

A recent article in Small describes a modular platform for assembling protein-DNA composites using covalent, site-specific conjugation. This method enables the formation of stable structures with ...

These proteins depend on their partner because they are rapidly degraded if they are not combined into complexes as soon as they are made. Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble ...
