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 ...

New research reveals that subtle chemical changes to proteins after synthesis play a critical role in determining drug-protein interactions.

"For histones, the time window for modifications is incredibly tight because their protein chains are very short," explains first author Denis Yudin, a doctoral student in Nenad Ban's lab. "NAC ...

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 ...

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 ...

An AI model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease has been developed. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine (TX, USA) have developed an AI model that reveals how ...

Cleveland Clinic virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how human bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. This ...

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 ...

Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are enzymes used by cells to trim protein modifications made from the protein ubiquitin, and thereby regulate proteins. Malfunctioning of DUBs could lead to diseases, including ...

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 ...
