Here’s what tofu is and why it can be good for you in moderation.

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 ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics.

Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this capability is a novel modular design strategy developed by researchers at ...

Proteins are the tiny machines that keep our cells running, and how long they last in the cell often determines how well they ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new approach called “optovolution.” This technique uses light to guide the evolution ...

Reducing protein intake may slow the progression of liver cancer, according to a study that reveals how ammonia fuels tumors.

Optimal health is best supported by a balanced diet that includes adequate protein along with vegetables, vitamins, whole ...

Scientists at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered a new dual function for a well-known cancer-related protein called ezrin. This finding could potentially open ...

Researchers have created nanoparticles that can remove disease-driving proteins while also delivering a chemotherapeutic or ...
