Proteins and peptides form the cornerstone of cellular function, serving not only as essential catalysts and structural components but also as mediators of signalling and regulation in health and ...

Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals and chemistry of living organisms. Biochemists study biomolecules (such as proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and lipids), their applications and interactions in ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Researchers discovered how the Lsr2 protein silences foreign DNA in tuberculosis bacteria. By forming protein condensates on ...

On the same day that the AlphaFold2 paper was published, Baker and his colleagues released an independent, freely accessible alternative that predicts protein structure with similar accuracy to ...

Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease are caused by folding errors (misfolding) in proteins or peptides, i.e. by changes in their spatial structure. This is the ...

The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation can occur when drops or layers of one liquid, like oil, form alongside another liquid, like water. It has been widely observed within cells, where proteins can condense ...

Accelerating protein production with high reproducibility is a key challenge in drug discovery and development. In this webinar, Karthik Rajasekar from Evotec department of Protein Sciences will ...

In 20th-century biochemistry history of China, Szu-Chih Liu (刘思职, 1904—1983)(Fig. 1) acted as a central bridge in both ...
