Proteins play a key role in the life sciences -- from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Scientists have developed a method that ...

Protein drugs feature significant advantages over small molecule therapeutics, including low toxicity, high specificity, and development speed. However, the quality control requirements are ...

Protein design aims to create customized antibodies for therapies, biosensors for diagnostics, or enzymes for chemical reactions. An international research team has now developed a method for ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to advance drug discovery and diagnostics by targeting a part of the proteome (the complete set of proteins in an organism) that was previously thought ...

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 ...

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 ...

Tucked away in a small, dark room at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, Brittani Schnable is on a fishing expedition. Wielding a joystick similar to those used by video gamers, she casts microscopic beads ...

A research team, led by Professor Ja Yil Lee in the Department of Biological Sciences at UNIST, has revealed that, contrary to the previously understood sequential transfer model, two key proteins ...

The team has further developed the method of chromatography. For this purpose, they have developed a light-sensitive molecular appendix that serves as an anchor for the target protein. It binds the ...
