Glutathione balance in the ER, controlled by SLC33A1, is essential for proper protein folding and disease prevention.

Curricula and admissions systems were built for a world in which human effort was the primary input. That world is disappearing. The challenge now is to measure not what students can do alone, but ...

Protein folding is a critical process by which linear chains of amino acids adopt specific three‐dimensional conformations essential for biological function. In recent years, studies have increasingly ...

In living organisms, every protein—a type of biological polymer consisting of hundreds of amino acids—carries out specific functions, such as catalysis, molecule transport, or DNA repair. To perform ...

Demis Hassabis (CEO of Deep Mind) and John M. Jumper have useed artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. David Baker has learned how to master life’s building ...

Numerous BYU students, including Mikaila Sass (pictured), worked with Dr. Willardson in his lab on this discovery. The human body heavily relies on protein molecules for proper functioning. Protein ...

A Moffitt Cancer Center researcher has introduced a new model that addresses one of biology's most fundamental questions: How does genetic information keep living systems organized and therefore alive ...

The strategies biopharmaceutical manufacturers currently use to limit protein misfolding are complex, time-consuming, and generate low yields with only limited scalability. Covalent organic frameworks ...

There are hundreds of diseases affecting humans that result from errors in cellular production of its proteins. A team led by researchers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, report they ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular machines ...

This Collection invites submissions which advance our understanding of the mechanisms of protein misfolding and clearance, and interventions directed at reducing protein aggregates. Quaternery ...
