Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

The question has been lingering for years in medical science circles. Since 2020, when the artificial intelligence (AI) model AlphaFold made it possible to predict protein structures, would the ...

Researchers created a new kind of cancer drug that can grab a mutant protein while also carrying a second hit against the ...

Inside your body, countless processes are happening every second to keep you alive. Among them is a little-known but powerful protein called CD36. Scientists have just discovered that this protein ...

Lariocidin hits drug-resistant bacteria where others fail — by hijacking the ribosome at a new site, bypassing defences, and opening the door to a new generation of antibiotics. Lariocidin, a ...

Each cell in your body relies on precise communication with other cells to function properly. At the center of this process are the molecular switches that turn communication signals in the body on ...
