Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals and chemistry of living organisms. Biochemists study biomolecules (such as proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and lipids), their applications and interactions in ...

Proteins and peptides form the cornerstone of cellular function, serving not only as essential catalysts and structural components but also as mediators of signalling and regulation in health and ...

If you've ever accidentally sliced yourself on broken glass or a piece of paper, you may have noticed that the bleeding can ...

Researchers showed that many mitochondrial proteins enter the organelle during synthesis, guided by folding patterns and structural signals. This discovery revises decades of biochemical models. Mitoc ...

New findings show how thioesters could have been built, an important step to providing the energy needed for protein ...

Using optical tweezers, researchers at National Taiwan University have observed individual binding events in real time, offering new insights into the molecular regulation of homologous recombination.

UT Southwestern researcher Steven McKnight won for his discovery of proteins that could provide insight into ...

A study from Würzburg reveals that pox viruses have developed a unique strategy to rapidly multiply after infecting a host ...

Amyloids are perhaps best known as a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease. The amorphous proteins, found throughout the human body, stick to nerve cells like plaque, choking off their function and ...

Early in the pandemic, most research, including our own, focused on designing drugs that could block the virus's spike protein. This was a logical first step, but as we've seen, the virus is a moving ...

The company uses a fungus called Trichoderma reesei, which consumes sugar, water, and minerals to create the same protein found in egg whites. Onego Bio aims to provide a consistent supply of egg ...
