Bioengineers developed a road map for the protein-protein interactions that give rise to gas vesicles, naturally occurring nanobubbles with potential use in biomedical applications. As far as water ...

Scientists at the VIB–VUB Center for Structural Biology have uncovered a counterintuitive principle that could reshape how ...

The assembly of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Gram-negative bacteria is a fundamental process that underpins bacterial viability and resilience. Central to this process is the β-barrel assembly ...

Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations. This ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

Beta-coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, have caused global health problems. How the virus infects host cells and triggers immunological responses has been investigated extensively. However, how the ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. Proteins are vital for life, involved in virtually every biochemical process that makes life possible. They comprise one or more amino acid chains ...

(Nanowerk News) Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But a critical aspect underlying the machinery of protein ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell’s dedicated molecular machines ...

Real-time and in-line accurate measuring of protein (monoclonal antibody, or mAb) concentration has been shown across a wide dynamic range (0–135 g/L) through the ...
