Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...

Chemical modification of proteins enables the development of proteins with novel functions and properties and has industrial and pharmacological applications. Modified proteins can exhibit improved ...

Scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine say they have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called ...

Exploring the post-translational modifications of a key protein in Parkinson's disease, researchers uncover potential pathways for future therapies in neurodegenerative diseases in general.

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

An AI model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease has been developed. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine (TX, USA) have developed an AI model that reveals how ...

Cleveland Clinic virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how human bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. This ...

Human proteins undergo a variety of chemical modifications following their synthesis. These modifications regulate their structure, function, and stability. Researchers from the Bhogaraju Group at ...

Protein palmitoylation and lipid modifications are essential post‐translational processes that regulate protein localisation, stability and function by the covalent attachment of fatty acid chains.

LA JOLLA, CA—Imagine riding a bike. Now imagine riding a bike with an enormous beach ball stuck on your handlebars. That "modification" might change your experience quite a bit. In our cells, ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, present a significant health challenge, affecting over 50 million people globally. One common feature of these diseases is the ...
