Recently, the research team of Prof. WANG Qian from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Prof. BAI Fang from ShanghaiTech University ...
A novel protein cage system can control and visualize orientational changes in aromatic side chains upon ligand binding. By inducing coordinated molecular changes, this approach enables precise ...
Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...
Hydrogen/deuterium exchange-mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is a powerful technique for studying protein dynamics, however its widespread application has been constrained by high sample consumption and ...
Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...
For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...
Protein folding helpers such as TRiC and prefoldin (PFD) are crucial for the correct folding of many essential proteins. In a Nature study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...
