New computer simulations that model every atom of a protein as it folds into its final three-dimensional form support the existence of a recently identified type of protein misfolding. Proteins must ...

Recently identified and long-lasting type of protein misfolding — non-native entanglements — observed in all-atom protein folding simulations. Representative misfolded conformations of the small ...

How the proteins in our bodies bind together to form protein complexes plays a critical role in numerous cell functions—staving off diseases, for instance, or transporting ions across cell membranes.

In science, whether an anomaly is insignificant or the basis for a promising new field of study can boil down to the catchiness of its name. Pick the wrong one, and conferences are hard to organise ...

Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...

After nearly four decades of research, Mayo Clinic scientists have revealed the molecular structures of protein kinase C beta ...
