Tuberculosis is still one of the deadliest infectious diseases, causing over one million deaths each year worldwide. Additionally, about one-fourth of the world's population carries Mycobacterium ...

The focus of vertebrate studies has mainly been on canonical phosphorylation, but research indicates that phosphorylation of other non-canonical amino acids also regulates integral aspects of cell ...

Researchers have developed a method for studying an important, yet often overlooked, posttranslational modification.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a key role in dynamic cellular processes, regulating gene expression, protein activity, localization, and degradation, as well as protein interaction.

At the University of Oxford, scientists have developed a nanopore technology that can identify three different post-translational modifications (PTMs) in individual proteins, even deep within long ...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein binds the host cell surface receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). It is a glycosylated protein and is a target ...

Unlike bacteria or yeast, moss can produce large polypeptides of human collagen along with the post-translational modifications that make it stable and bioactive.

Tsukuba, Japan—Proteins are subject to post-translational chemical modifications that result in functional diversity. Methylation is one such modification that is generally believed to occur on lysine ...
