Proteins and peptides are the primary functional polymers of medical biochemistry, directing virtually all cellular processes through their structural diversity, catalytic activities and signalling ...

Scientists at Baylor College of Medicine may have uncovered a promising new way to combat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease ...

After nearly four decades of research, Mayo Clinic scientists have revealed the molecular structures of protein kinase C beta ...

Researchers had not yet identified ways in which they might affect biochemistry far from their physical structures. Now, in a new study published September 10 in the journal Cell, researchers from ...

The genetic code has given rise to the enormous diversity of proteins we see in nature—and rearranging the order of codons that make up a protein’s sequence leads to an immense variety of structure ...

Proteins carry out almost every important function in our body, from copying our DNA to turning the food we eat into energy.
