Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...

Protein populations rise and fall from tissue to tissue and from cell to cell as organisms develop and do what they must to maintain health—or regain it, should they suffer illness—and each ...

Designing proteins that can change their structure, and ultimately function, in response to specific molecular signals, a phenomenon known as allosteric regulation, has been a long-standing goal of ...

Around 80 percent of proteins involved in diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative illnesses do not have a stable structure. These proteins, known as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) can ...

A GPS-like technique has been used to track G protein-coupled receptor movement, revealing how these essential receptors function. Although G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucial to the ...
