Structural genomics represents a concerted global endeavour to decipher the three‐dimensional architectures of proteins, thereby deepening our understanding of molecular function and informing ...

Peptide science has expanded rapidly in recent decades, revealing molecules with intriguing signaling roles that may influence diverse regenerative and organizational processes within an organism.

Jacobs School researchers have shown how an electron diffraction technique can quickly and efficiently create high-resolution ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Researchers present BioEmu – a new AI model that rapidly and accurately predicts the full range of shapes a protein can adopt, offering a faster, cheaper alternative to traditional molecular ...

Scientists demonstrated that glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promotes mitochondrial fission rather than blocking fusion. The genetic disorder Alexander disease is caused by mutations in the ...

Researchers have identified a new type of blood-based biomarker test for Alzheimer's disease that measures structural changes in proteins, providing more information on the underlying biology of the ...

Keratin is often marketed as a cosmetic miracle, but its real importance goes far beyond shiny hair or smoother skin. This structural protein is fundamental to how the body protects itself from ...

A new type of blood test that analyses the folding of amino acids rather than their amounts may detect earliest biological ...

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and one of the biggest health challenges of aging societies. In the ...
