Mapping the molecular structure where medicine goes to work is a crucial step toward drug discovery against deadly diseases. Researchers at Michigan State University have taken that critical first ...

Transport proteins are responsible for the ongoing movement of substrates into and out of a biological cell. However, it is difficult to determine which substrates a specific protein can transport.

Membrane protein transport and quality control are central to yeast cell homeostasis, ensuring that proteins reach their correct cellular destinations while aberrant or damaged proteins are ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – December 5, 2025) When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct ...

Proteins are most well-known for their intricate structures. The α-helices and β-sheets that form from interactions between sidechains create distinct shapes that, along with the specific amino acid ...
