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 ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only ...

Mitochondrial protein import is a critical process underpinning mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular homeostasis. With the vast majority of mitochondrial proteins encoded by nuclear DNA and ...

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

AI protein function prediction uses machine learning models trained on sequence and structural data to infer protein roles at ...

Built on groundbreaking research from Israel ’s Weizmann Institute of Science, Promise Bio developed the first cloud-based platform for broad epiproteomics, helping researchers uncover disease ...

Optimal health is best supported by a balanced diet that includes adequate protein along with vegetables, vitamins, whole grains, and healthy fats. This balance helps prevent unnecessary strain on the ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new ...

Protein powders may seem like a convenient way to get extra nutrients, but they also have some potential risks to be aware of.
