Tau protein is essential for microtubule stability and neuronal function. The protein’s disfunction is linked to several ...

Mutations in EGLN1, the gene encoding for hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl-4-hydroxylase 2 (PHD2), cause erythrocytosis and in rare cases the development of neuroendocrine tumors. In the presence ...

In all the rBiFC experiments included in this work, the proteins were expressed fused at the N-terminus with the n or cEYFP fragments because it is the only extremity facing the cytosol for the SNAREs ...

The MutS-alpha protein complex, a component of mismatch repair, is composed of two proteins and is expressed throughout a cell's lifetime. When it was knocked down, conversions of C to T dropped.

Wheat is a major source of calories, carbohydrates and protein worldwide, and its distinctive gluten proteins are what gives bread and pasta dough texture and elasticity. But it also can cause ...

The claim: You need more protein to build muscle. Research backs this up. Stacy Sims, an exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who offers advice to active women online, recommends ...

N-terminal sequencing targets the amino-terminal (N-terminal) end of a protein or peptide, which corresponds to the first amino acid residue in its sequence. By determining the sequence of amino acids ...

C-terminal amidation is a PTM that involves the addition of an amid group to the C-terminus of a peptide or protein. Currently there is no direct evidence to suggest that C-terminal amidation of ...

This protein mobility problem was apparently worsened by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cells (Nat. Commun. 2022, DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-35176-7).
