Chemical modification of proteins enables the development of proteins with novel functions and properties and has industrial and pharmacological applications. Modified proteins can exhibit improved ...

An AI model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease has been developed. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine (TX, USA) have developed an AI model that reveals how ...

Protein palmitoylation and lipid modifications are essential post‐translational processes that regulate protein localisation, stability and function by the covalent attachment of fatty acid chains.

Itaconate, an endogenous mitochondrial metabolite produced by the enzyme aconitate decarboxylase 1 (ACOD1), has emerged as a central regulator of ...

Cleveland Clinic virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how human bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. This ...

Cognitive tasks, such as learning and memory, require rapid changes to proteins at synapses, such as protein synthesis, degradation, and trafficking. How protein post-translational modifications ...

A research team has developed an innovative technique that enables precise modification of specific proteins within complex biological environments. A research team led by Professor Seung Soo Oh and ...

Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Protein-based nanomaterials that respond to light are emerging as candidates for integrating biological compatibility with programmable electronic behavior. Their appeal lies in ...
