Harvard scientists' protein-based scaffold grown on a polymer substrate could be used to grow organ tissue and treat wounds. Researchers in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Harvard ...

Novel biophysical tools allow the structural dynamics of proteins and the regulation of such dynamics by binding partners to be explored in unprecedented detail. Although this has provided critical ...

An international collaboration between researchers at The Centre for Programmable Matter at Durham University (U.K.) and the Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology, Jagiellonian University (Poland) has ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Brassinosteroids (BRs) form a group of steroidal hormones essential for plant growth, development, and stress responses. BRs are perceived ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

Biologists discovered that a scaffolding protein called TCOF1 is responsible for the formation of a biomolecular condensate called the fibrillar center, which forms within the cell nucleolus. Inside ...

(Nanowerk News) Cell-free biocatalysis is being increasingly used as a substitute for conventional chemical catalysts, given that enzymes (biological catalysts) are more sustainable and selective in ...

“The protein scaffold for making daughter buds has a surprising number of redundancies,” said Bradley. “Only some of these earliest daughter proteins are essential.” The team conducted a genomic ...

Temporary protein-protein bonds are essential for processes including enzymatic reactions, antibody binding, and response to medication. Being able to accurately characterize these bonds is important ...

Inside all living cells, loosely formed assemblies known as biomolecular condensates perform many critical functions. However, it is not well understood how proteins and other biomolecules come ...
