Researchers discovered that proteasome assembly occurs through multiple pathways rather than a fixed sequence. Using cryo-EM, ...

The assembly of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Gram-negative bacteria is a fundamental process that underpins bacterial viability and resilience. Central to this process is the β-barrel assembly ...

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 ...

Bioengineers developed a road map for the protein-protein interactions that give rise to gas vesicles, naturally occurring nanobubbles with potential use in biomedical applications. As far as water ...

Beta-coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, have caused global health problems. How the virus infects host cells and triggers immunological responses has been investigated extensively. However, how the ...

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

(Nanowerk News) Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But a critical aspect underlying the machinery of protein ...

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

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell’s dedicated molecular machines ...
