Structural genomics represents a concerted global endeavour to decipher the three‐dimensional architectures of proteins, thereby deepening our understanding of molecular function and informing ...

Inside every cell, a cleanup operation runs around the clock. Proteins are constantly damaged by wear and tear. Some can be repaired, while others must be dismantled and recycled. When this system ...

Researchers have identified a new type of blood-based biomarker test for Alzheimer's disease that measures structural changes in proteins, providing more information on the underlying biology of the ...

Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how 'bad' cholesterol, known as low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol or LDL-C, builds up in the body. The researchers were able to show ...

A research team at Leipzig University has identified a mechanism in adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (adhesion GPCRs), a ...

Viruses are masters at invading our cells thanks to specialized proteins that coat their surfaces. When scientists design ...

The Protein Society, the premier international society dedicated to supporting protein research, announces the winners of the 2026 Protein Society Awards, which will be recognized  at the 40th ...

Keratin is the tough, fibrous protein that gives fingernails their hardness, hair its strength, and skin its outermost armor.

Keratin is often marketed as a cosmetic miracle, but its real importance goes far beyond shiny hair or smoother skin. This structural protein is fundamental to how the body protects itself from ...
