Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

are among the most difficult and exciting problems in cell biology.Three recent studies have made a significant contribution to this area byidentifying new proteins, called LAP proteins ...

Proteins can be subjected to a wide variety of targeted post-translational modifications that will considerably modulate their function. Fortunately, several new technologies have emerged to ...

The study was made possible by a new method the scientists developed—DQGlyco—which allows them to study glycosylation at a much higher scale and resolution than previous studies. Proteins are ...

Researchers from Karolinska Institutet, together with Pixelgen Technologies, have developed and applied a technique that ...

Protein engineering largely relies on experiments that make incremental changes to proteins and study their effects, such as by introducing random mutations into the relevant protein-expressing gene ...

“And that’s what this year’s laureates have done.” Proteins are the building blocks of life. They are made up of strings of amino acid molecules which fold themselves into complex three-dimensional ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells.

MammalExpress increases the efficiency and reduces the cost of producing recombinant proteins in mammalian cells. Recombinant proteins are proteins produced by genetic engineering. They are widely ...
