Discover how AI tools like AlphaFold and RF Diffusion are revolutionizing protein folding design, medicine, and ...

Changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth by increasing cancer stemness in an oestrogen independent manner. Targeting vimentin and/or the long ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

Direct chemical synthesis has been adapted to make oligonucleotides of remarkable length, including an 800 nucleotide green fluorescent protein gene and a 1728 nucleotide bacteriophage DNA polymerase ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism - a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon - using a cellular platform that they developed ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers from the ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

The management of Leishmania donova ni (LD), responsible for fatal visceral leishmaniasis (VL), faces increasing challenges due to rising drug-unresponsiveness, leading to increasing treatment ...

Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.

A new imaging technique reveals ribosomes work together when translating mRNA, preventing slowdowns in protein production. This discovery challenges prior beliefs and could revolutionize our ...
