Moonlighting proteins represent a fascinating class of biomolecules that perform multiple, distinct and physiologically relevant functions. Unlike conventional proteins that are typically associated ...

Some cells, such as immune cells, are highly mobile—they constantly remodel their shape, migrate toward a wound that needs to ...

Animal proteins provide all of the essential amino acids your body needs. (Getty Images) There’s lately been a preoccupation — verging on an obsession — with getting enough protein. And it’s no wonder ...

The human body requires protein as one of its fundamental nutritional elements, and it is known as the 'building block of the body.' The body depends on protein to construct and restore muscles, as ...

A new study highlights just how flexible the human body can be by demonstrating that in adult transgender women receiving ...

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 ...

A new machine learning method has achieved what even AlphaFold cannot — the design of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), the shape-shifting biomolecules that make up nearly 30% of all human ...

Some proteins shift their shape when exposed to different temperatures, revealing previously unknown binding sites for medications. The findings could revolutionize wide swathes of biology by ...

The human body is made up mostly of water. If this water is removed, the body's cells cannot survive, even when water is ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are expressed on the surface of cells and regulate a range of important functions. Because they are involved in so many sensory and physiological processes, ...

Protein is a key component of muscle, and if you don’t get enough, you suffer from muscle loss. Here's why you need to eat ...

A hustle and bustle like at the Zurich Street Parade: inside a cell, countless different proteins interact with each other around the cell nucleus. Inside cells, it's like in a packed dance club: ...
