Findings provide new insights into how the protein regulates cell growth and how mutations in the gene that encodes the protein can lead to cancer

Researchers optimize the interactions between charges on the surface of the chain of atoms that makes up the protein

Discovery provides new tool for understanding and treating neurodegenerative diseases

University of British Columbia scientists have found what could be an important cause of obesity.

Salk scientists unveil how a critical molecule turns on T cells

Berkeley Lab's SINGLE provides images of individual nanoparticles in solution

A research group at Umeå University has managed to capture and describe a protein structure that, until now, has been impossible to study. The discovery lays the base for developing designed enzymes as catalysts to new chemical reactions for instance in biotechnological applications. The result of the study is published in the journal Nature Communications.

Researchers have developed a new informatics technology that analyzes existing data repositories of protein modifications and 3D protein structures to help scientists identify and target research on “hotspots” most likely to be important for biological function.

Data from 20 million cells collected by U of T researchers to develop detailed cell map.

Using a complex modeling program that helps analyze the physical dynamics of large, structurally complex protein molecules, a research team has made progress towards finding a weak spot in the architecture of a group of enzymes that are essential to antibiotic resistance in a number of bacteria.
