Protein arginylation is an evolutionarily conserved post‐translational modification whereby arginine is covalently attached to specific residues on target proteins. Mediated principally by the enzyme ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers developed "DeepGO-SE," a method to predict gene ontology (GO) functions from protein sequences using a large, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The creation of genes with new functions is a major driver of developmental innovation in all living organisms. How these genes acquire new functions over evolutionary time ...

Proteins are integral components of all living organisms. They are composed of a sequence of building blocks called amino acids. That sequence determines their function, which can range from setting ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

Scientists have determined the molecular structure of HIV Pol, a protein that plays a key role in the late stages of HIV replication, or the process through which the virus propagates itself and ...

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

As protein-fortified foods make their way down the grocery aisle, we asked experts if the growing trend is worth paying ...

“Other signs of prolonged insufficient protein intake include leg swelling, anemia, and poor wound healing,” Jones adds. While severe edema from protein deficiency is rare in developed countries, mild ...

Protein is made up of amino acids and is one of three types of essential macronutrients. Protein is important because it builds muscle, digests food, and keeps skin firm and healthy. You need to eat ...

A team of scientists at the Salk Institute and Rutgers University has determined the molecular structure of HIV Pol, a protein that plays a key role in the late stages of HIV replication, the process ...
