Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...
Understanding the best ways to get a membrane protein to its destination in a cell is crucial, and the best method to make this happen is still unclear. Cell-free systems allow for interactions ...
A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...
Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...
Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...
Three dimensional cryo-EM structure of VCP (blue and purple) bound to three VCPIP1 promoters (red, orange, and yellow). Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones ...
Protein plays a pivotal role in the body that extends beyond its common association with muscle building. It is an essential macronutrient crucial for various bodily functions, including tissue repair ...
