One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the clumping of proteins called Tau, which form tangled fibrils in the brain.

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...

Scientists at Walter and Elizabeth Hall Institute (WEHI) have made what they describe as a huge leap forward in the fight against Parkinson’s disease, solving a decades-long mystery by determining the ...

In a new move, researchers have shown that protein design software can incorporate motion into its outputs. The resulting protein gives a wave with one arm as it binds and releases a calcium ion ...

Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for enteroviruses ...
