Just like workers need the right environment to efficiently perform their tasks, proteins require placement within specific cellular compartments to function properly. Therefore, understanding where ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a new machine learning method that, given a relevant amino acid sequence, can automatically predict the location of a protein in any human cell line down to the single-cell level ...

Numerous BYU students, including Mikaila Sass (pictured), worked with Dr. Willardson in his lab on this discovery. The human body heavily relies on protein molecules for proper functioning. Protein ...

Calcium (Ca2+) drives many cellular functions, though the way it controls quality of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum ...

Localizatome contains comprehensive information about the stress-induced protein localization changes within living cells. It provides open access to subcellular protein localization data through a ...

For those outside the chemistry cognoscenti, the announcement might have seemed little more than researchers patting each other on the back. But the question of protein folding had plagued scientists ...

Just as a misshapen key can't open a lock, the proteins in our cells need to have the correct 3D shape to function properly. And defects in a protein's structure can cause diseases. Proteins are ...

Protein folding raises some of biology's greatest theoretical challenges. It also lies at the root of many diseases. For example, the fundamental question of whether a protein's final tertiary ...
