Scientists have uncovered the mechanism that allows stem cells to synthesize proteins and continue dividing even under ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Membrane proteins are important drug targets, and more than half of all drugs target membrane proteins. High yield production of high quality functional membrane proteins is needed for efficient drug ...

Elongation, a crucial step in the translation process of protein synthesis, gets disrupted by amino acid sequences with an abundance of N-terminal aspartic and glutamic acid residues in eukaryotic ...

Cryo-EM structure of the Giardia ribosome reveals a highly compact, GC-rich rRNA with eukaryotic r-proteins. (A) Structure of the Giardia ribosome with all the r-proteins colored (SSU, shades of blue ...

Microbes from yeast to fungi are now routinely used to produce some ingredients more efficiently than plants or animals. But next-gen ‘cell-free’ processes that deploy some of the biomolecular ...

L-arginine helps protein droplets stay stable and prevents fibril formation linked to Alzheimer’s. This process occurs at droplet surfaces, offering a potential therapeutic target.

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

Opportunities lie in the expanding demand for protein therapeutics driven by chronic disease prevalence, advancements in cell-free systems, and personalized medicine. Growth is supported by companies ...
