All biological function is dependent on how different proteins interact with each other. Protein-protein interactions ...

It also reminds us that there’s sometimes some truth to be found in our old sayings, as Lippincott-Schwartz pointed out: “Einstein said that when he uses his brain, it is like he is using a muscle, ...

Now researchers from The Rockefeller University have unearthed intriguing genetic evidence: a protein variant found only in humans that may have helped shape the emergence of spoken language.

Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

Opioid use during pregnancy—whether of highly addictive drugs like fentanyl or controlled opioids like buprenorphine—doubles ...

Researchers from Bonn and Erlangen identify the protein MLC1 as a target antigen in multiple sclerosis (MS); a chronic ...

Exosomes, the small extracellular vesicles secreted by nearly all cell types, have emerged as powerful players in intercellular communication and potential biomarkers for disease diagnosis and therapy ...

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

Striatal dopamine (DA) release regulates reward-related learning and behavioural activation and is believed to consist of a short-lived phasic and continuous tonic component. Here, we build a ...

Scientists have uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum of antibiotics along ...

By analyzing E. coli protein levels, scientists found a surplus of membrane shuttle proteins that may play a role in ...
