Proteins are so much more than nutrients in food. Virtually every reaction in the body that makes life possible involves this large group of molecules. And when things go wrong in our health, proteins ...

Human proteins undergo a variety of chemical modifications following their synthesis. These modifications regulate their ...

These new findings on the effects of the rate of protein synthesis on its structure and function may affect studies in biochemistry, biotechnology, and medicine.

Learn how cell-free protein synthesis helps researchers overcome the challenges of traditional membrane protein production techniques.

Researchers who developed protein folding software, and used it to predict new, useful proteins win the Nobel.

Groundbreaking new research reveals that muscle protein synthesis after exercise has no upper limit. Ingesting 100g of protein leads to sustained growth with minimal waste. The 25g rule is ...

Semirational protein design is a combination of rational and directed evolution methods. 9 Scientists consider this strategy more effective because they can use computational or bioinformatic modeling ...

The newly created protein, termed "de novo-1", binds to a heme-related target in E. coli<i/>, preventing the bacteria from ...

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a small, non-coding RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. It acts as an adaptor molecule, translating the genetic code in messenger RNA (mRNA) into the ...

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a highly conserved, non-coding RNA that plays crucial structural and catalytic roles in protein synthesis as a key component of ribosomes.
