A team of researchers has built a new protein sequencing workflow that pairs mirror proteases with deep learning software to read peptide sequences with far greater accuracy than previous methods.

The new cell-free protein crystallization (CFPC) method developed by Tokyo Tech includes direct protein crystallization and is a major headway in the field of structural biology. This technique will ...

The team, from biopharmaceutical company Regeneron, hopes their work will help researchers better understand protein-protein interactions during preclinical development of a drug. “Essentially, we ...

Researchers have developed a method to evaluate the folding stability of a million proteins simultaneously. DNA libraries were used to generate protein -- DNA complexes that were treated with enzymes ...

Cells are highly controlled spaces that rely on every protein being in the right place. Many diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative disorders, are associated with misplaced proteins. In ...

At the University of Oxford, scientists have developed a nanopore technology that can identify three different post-translational modifications (PTMs) in individual proteins, even deep within long ...

Textbooks often depict proteins in one conformation, but real life, as usual, is much messier. While some proteins have stable, unchanging structures, many others have intrinsically disordered regions ...

Proteins are made of chains of amino acids, and a basic tenet of biology is that the sequence of amino acids determines how a protein folds into a 3D shape which, in turn, dictates the protein’s ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new approach called “optovolution.” This technique uses light to guide the evolution ...
