Here’s what tofu is and why it can be good for you in moderation.

Protein function prediction and annotation represent critical challenges in the post‐genomic era. As high‐throughput sequencing continues to generate vast amounts of protein data, computational ...

Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this capability is a novel modular design strategy developed by researchers at ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an essential role in tissue repair, neuroprotection and immune health. By ...

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

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 ...

Optimal health is best supported by a balanced diet that includes adequate protein along with vegetables, vitamins, whole ...

Researchers have created nanoparticles that can remove disease-driving proteins while also delivering a chemotherapeutic or ...
