TRPM8, a key cold-sensing protein in nerve cells, activates to send “cold” signals to the brain when exposed to low ...

The name might sound like a Nordic god, but it is actually the molecular machinery that allows many different species to eat ...

The database of 200 million protein-structure predictions now includes homodimers, adding new biological relevance.

When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...

David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for their work on protein structure. Atila Altuntas / Anadolu via Getty Images On Wednesday morning, ...

Proteins often function in pairs or groups, concealing their internal connection points and making it difficult for scientists to study their individual units without altering their natural structure.

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

A new technique based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based single-molecule protein fingerprinting can identify where specific amino acids and post-translational modifications are ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only ...

Scientists have found a new type of iron-storing protein in a mixture of microbes containing methane-degraders. This ...
