Understanding proteins' structures is essential because their shapes determine their functions. Back in 1972, Christian Anfinsen won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for showing that the sequence of a ...

The key to reversing cellular aging may lie in a protein responsible for toggling cells between a "young" and an "old" state.
