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

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.

Protein function prediction and annotation represent critical challenges in the post‐genomic era. As high‐throughput sequencing continues to generate vast amounts of protein data, computational ...

Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this ...

Chung’s group captured the transition period directly by improving the time resolution of a method called single-molecule ...

Optimal health is best supported by a balanced diet that includes adequate protein along with vegetables, vitamins, whole grains, and healthy fats. This balance helps prevent unnecessary strain on the ...

Built on groundbreaking research from Israel ’s Weizmann Institute of Science, Promise Bio developed the first cloud-based platform for broad epiproteomics, helping researchers uncover disease ...

AI protein function prediction uses machine learning models trained on sequence and structural data to infer protein roles at ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new ...

How much protein is safe? Find out from a nephrologist about the risks of excessive protein consumption.

Meat sticks are popular, but dietitians warn against getting your protein fix from processed meats. Try these high-protein ...
