American and New Zealand researchers use experimental evidence to overturn widely-accepted theory on the dawn of life on Earth

Discovery could lead to new antibacterial agents and drugs to combat toxins

Experiments provide details of mechanisms underlying viruses and infections

The study, published in Nature Communications, shows that the elimination of this protein from obese mice blocks any further increase in obesity and reduces body weight

Pressure generates electricity in crystals of enzyme found in tears, milk, and egg whites

Including “non-ideal” components in the designs may be key to functional artificial proteins

Whereas massive inroads have been made into genomics, metabolomics, or protein and lipid research, glycosylation remains largely unexplored at the proteome scale

Resurrected 500 million-year-old protein shows researchers how chance shaped biological history

Potential for treating obesity identified in mice

Achievement using cryo-electron microscopy to aid gene research and drug development
