As well as degrading proteins, the proteosome surprisingly also functions in human defence against bacterial infection. By ...

The results surprised the researchers when they showed that a single peptide that is naturally made by the body can prove ...

Much like humans generate mountains of garbage, our cells are constantly discarding proteins that are damaged or no longer ...

Research on how proteasomes generate antimicrobial peptides, revealing a new immune mechanism with potential applications for combating antibiotic resistance ...

One of the key elements of that system is the proteasome, a structure that chops up proteins that are faulty or no longer ...

Their findings were published in PLOS One. It begins with antimicrobial proteins and peptides (AMPPs) — among the most promising pharmacological leads in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.

Antimicrobial nanoparticles are designed to combat bacterial resistance through mechanisms like ROS generation, membrane ...
