Scientists used light to evolve proteins that can switch, sense, and even “compute” inside living cells. Evolution is one of ...

Researchers at the Center for Research on Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxome) in Brazil have identified extracellular matrix proteins modified by the action of hypobromous acid in normal and ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Researchers at the University of Michigan Medical School and Howard Hughes Medical Institute have found a way to see proteins in cells that have been tagged by a molecular "sticky ...

Certain diseases, including Alzheimer’s, are currently considered “undruggable” because traditional small molecule drugs can’t interfere with the proteins responsible for the illnesses. But a new ...

Scientists have designed a slimmed-down CRISPR protein, enEbCas12a, that still packs a punch in precision editing. Its small size means it can hitch a ride in a harmless virus, delivering edits ...

This mutation allowed the protein to function despite changes in acidity that are produced during heart attacks. The modified mice maintained better calcium balance and heart function and showed ...

Learn how modified fluorescent proteins are evolving into quantum sensors, enhancing our understanding of cellular processes.

A newly identified requirement of a modified human protein in ebolavirus (EBOV) replication, may unlock the door for new approaches to treating Ebola. EBOV is one of the most lethal human pathogens ...

Fruit flies, mice, zebrafish, yeast and the tiny worm C. elegans are model organisms that have carried modern biology on ...

Like a well-run city, healthy cells recycle their waste, breaking down and reusing damaged proteins. In the January 29 Nature, scientists led by Jeffrey Bode and Jacob Corn at the Swiss Federal ...
