Recently identified and long-lasting type of protein misfolding — non-native entanglements — observed in all-atom protein folding simulations. Representative misfolded conformations of the small ...

Many people still don’t understand how protein works, why it matters or the best ways to get enough of it in their diet. Here ...

A research group has found a new class of proteins in the red algae Cyanidioschyzon merolae that are involved in moving proteins across the membranes of chloroplasts -- subcompartments that conduct ...

Cells have a remarkable housekeeping system: Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in the cellular recycling machinery ...

Maintaining cellular order is a major logistical challenge: Individual mammalian cells contain billions of protein molecules, ...
