Biophysicists have elucidated why unexpected structures can sometimes arise during protein design. Artificially designed proteins are usually based on building blocks that obey strict rules of ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but ...

HPLC-MS analysis identified hundreds of components in Androctonus scorpion venoms, with disulfide-rich peptides being abundant. All three scorpion venoms exhibited hyaluronidase activity, while ...

Chloroplasts evolved from a cyanobacterial endosymbiont that resided within a eukaryotic cell. Due to their prokaryotic heritage, chloroplast outer membranes contain transmembrane β-barrel proteins.

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...
