Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...

Inspired by the simple mechanism of a seesaw—when one side goes up, the other side goes down—researchers asked an intriguing ...

Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) are critical for biological systems to function properly. Strong interactions maintain structural integrity and function, whereas weaker interactions enable ...

The framework predicts how proteins will function with several interacting mutations and finds combinations that work well ...

Protein arginylation is an evolutionarily conserved post‐translational modification whereby arginine is covalently attached to specific residues on target proteins. Mediated principally by the enzyme ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.

These proteins perform a wide variety of functions and are crucial in maintaining a signaling pathway between the cell and its outside environment. When one of these proteins is damaged or defective, ...

A hallmark of Parkinson's disease is the buildup of Lewy bodies—misfolded clumps of the protein known as alpha-synuclein.

A new study reveals that the twin enzymes MNK1 and MNK2 play distinct roles in the brain, with one governing memory and the other social behavior.
