Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have identified simple rules that explain how complex protein structures ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into "complexes" to fulfill their functions. A study by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Weizmann Institute, in collaboration with ...

How do neurons transport proteins? A new study reveals that Kinesin-2 motor subtypes regulate cargo specificity.

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 ...

Two parallel experiments in protein self-assembly produced strikingly different results, demonstrating that protein designers should consider incorporating physical forces now missing from even ...

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 ...

Proteins are the molecular workhorses of cells. To understand their functions, scientists soon realized that they had to figure out proteins’ shapes. But solving a protein structure is a challenging ...

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 ...

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 ...
