Protein function prediction and annotation represent critical challenges in the post‐genomic era. As high‐throughput sequencing continues to generate vast amounts of protein data, computational ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. Proteins are vital for life, involved in virtually every biochemical process that makes life possible. They comprise one or more amino acid chains ...

These sugars can affect how the protein folds and functions, and mistakes during glycosylation can lead to disease. A new study from Robert Keenan's group at the University of Chicago, in ...

The new findings, including how SLIT3 splits into two parts and interacts with receptors to shape nerve and blood vessel networks, point to several potential targets for future treatments.

A research team led by Purdue University's W. Andy Tao has discovered a new type of protein modification related to cellular ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...
