A team of researchers has built a new protein sequencing workflow that pairs mirror proteases with deep learning software to read peptide sequences with far greater accuracy than previous methods.

Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

The team, from biopharmaceutical company Regeneron, hopes their work will help researchers better understand protein-protein interactions during preclinical development of a drug. “Essentially, we ...

Proteins play a key role in the life sciences - from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Scientists at the Technical University of ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new approach called “optovolution.” This technique uses light to guide the evolution ...

Cells are highly controlled spaces that rely on every protein being in the right place. Many diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative disorders, are associated with misplaced proteins. In ...

Textbooks often depict proteins in one conformation, but real life, as usual, is much messier. While some proteins have stable, unchanging structures, many others have intrinsically disordered regions ...

Proteins are made of chains of amino acids, and a basic tenet of biology is that the sequence of amino acids determines how a protein folds into a 3D shape which, in turn, dictates the protein’s ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a computational method capable of simulating the movements of some of the cell’s largest protein complexes. Large protein machines in the body carry ...
