A research article published today in Science presents the first major analysis based on the Human Protein Atlas, including a...
Scientists map one of most important proteins in life
Scientists reveal the structure of one of the most important and complicated proteins in cell division – a fundamental process...
Molecular high-speed Origami
Proteins are responsible for nearly every essential process of life. Their form and structure (or their ”fold”) are of crucial...
New study shows click chemistry could provide total chemical DNA synthesis
An interdisciplinary study led by Dr Ali Tavassoli, a Reader in chemical biology at the University of Southampton, has shown...
How a Shape-Shifting DNA-Repair Machine Fights Cancer
Maybe you’ve seen the movies or played with toy Transformers, those shape-shifting machines that morph in response to whatever challenge...
The symphony of life
Like the strings on a violin or the pipes of an organ, the proteins in the human body vibrate in...
Protein motors to create novel nanomachines
Inside our cells, proteins known as myosins can act as a delivery service for biological materials. To better understand how...
DNA motor ‘walks’ along nanotube, transports tiny particle
Researchers have created a new type of molecular motor made of DNA and demonstrated its potential by using it to...
Researchers Find Protein That Regulates Burning of Body Fat
The uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP1) is found exclusively in brown adipose tissue. Until some years ago it was thought that...
Protein Coding ‘Junk Genes’ May Be Linked to Cancer
By using a new analysis method, researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) in Sweden have found...
Better Protein Creation
Naked mole rats have what any animal would want. They live long lives -- about 30 years -- and stay...
A Protein That Can Mean Life or Death for Cells
Each cell in an organism has a sensor that measures the health of its "internal" environment. This "alarm" is found...
