A research team led by Purdue University's W. Andy Tao has discovered a new type of protein modification related to cellular mutation that impairs a crucial enzyme's ability to help drive energy ...

Emulsions—mixtures of immiscible liquids such as oil and water—rely on surface‐active agents to stabilise dispersed droplets against coalescence and creaming. Proteins are among the most versatile ...

Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...

A research team has developed an innovative technique that enables precise modification of specific proteins within complex biological environments. A research team led by Professor Seung Soo Oh and ...

Imagine riding a bike. Now imagine riding a bike with an enormous beach ball stuck on your handlebars. That "modification" might change your experience quite a bit. In our cells, molecules called ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called DeepMVP and ...

Lactylation, a recently identified post-translational modification, has emerged as important for immune regulation, tissue repair, cancer cell metabolism, and now, potentially, Alzheimer’s disease. In ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, present a significant health challenge, affecting over 50 million people globally. One common feature of these diseases is the ...

Inside every human cell, proteins are constantly being tagged with small chemical modifications after they’re produced. Known as post-translational modifications, or PTMs, these can change how a ...

The amino acid side chains of proteins undergo various post-translational modifications (PTMs) which significantly impact protein function and mediate complex cellular events. Measuring the dynamics, ...
