Michael Martynowycz, PhD, assistant professor of structural biology at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, recently described a new technique for solving protein structures in a rec ...

Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational chemistry, is not unlike using the Rosetta Stone to unlock the secrets of ancient ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a ...

Research led by scientists at Washington State University has revealed insights on how plants form a microscopic landscape of proteins crucial to photosynthesis, the basis of Earth's food and energy ...

Chung’s group captured the transition period directly by improving the time resolution of a method called single-molecule ...

Alzheimer's disease affects an estimated 7.2 million Americans age 65 and older, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Current tests often measure the levels of two proteins-amyloid beta (Aβ) and ...

Proteoforms, the diverse molecular variants of proteins, are key to understanding cellular functions, disease mechanisms, and ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

Scientists have developed a new blood test that could spot Alzheimer’s earlier by detecting hidden changes in how proteins fold in the bloodstream.

Scientists develop a blood test that detects Alzheimer’s by measuring protein structural changes rather than protein quantity.

In people destined to get Alzheimer's in their mid-40s, one protein can delay the onset of the disease by about 20 years.
