Biophysicists have elucidated why unexpected structures can sometimes arise during protein design. Artificially designed proteins are usually based on building blocks that obey strict rules of ...

How did the earliest life on Earth build complex biological machinery with so few tools? A new study explores how the ...

ADAMTS2, a member of the ADAMTS zinc metalloproteinase family, is widely recognized for its pivotal role as a procollagen I N-proteinase. This enzyme plays a crucial part in the maturation of ...

ARS-interacting multifunctional proteins (auxiliary components) – are nonezymatic proteins, associated with aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases – enzymes that catalyse the joining of amino acids with their ...

p100, encoded by SND1, is a ubiquitous, multifunctional protein that can interact with and modulate a broad spectrum of proteins involved in transcription 1,2,3,4. Originally identified as a vital ...

Completely artificial proteins that produce bioluminescence can serve as a non-invasive method for bioimaging, diagnostics, drug discovery, and more. Bioluminescence is the natural chemical process of ...

The multifunctional RNA-binding protein Tudor-SN plays multiple roles in transcriptional and posttranscriptional processes due to its modular domain structure, consisting of four tandem Staphylococcus ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...
