Thousands of previously “invisible” microproteins—tiny chains of fewer than 100 amino acids—can profoundly change human biology when mutated. A fundamental discovery is overturning decades of ...

The high-protein food and drink trend is booming. Once the domain of bodybuilders and gym-goers, protein-packed products have now hit the mainstream. The movement shows no signs of slowing. Today, ...

An international research team led by Konrad Meister from Boise State University’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research has identified a new class ...

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 ...

Proteoforms, the diverse molecular variants of proteins, are key to understanding cellular functions, disease mechanisms, and biomarker discovery in proteomics.

The proteins found in nature represent only a tiny fraction of the nearly limitless protein structures that could theoretically exist. By designing proteins de novo—from scratch—scientists can more ...

So, the question I was asked the most in the past 12 months is, ‘Have we hit peak protein?’ The answer is no. Not yet, at least.” Dicker said SPINS data also shows protein-rich items like yogurt, ...

AI protein function prediction uses machine learning models trained on sequence and structural data to infer protein roles at ...

In Greek mythology, Proteus, son of Poseidon and prophetic shepherd of sea-beasts, could foretell the future. The elusive sea god was difficult to capture as he assumed many forms—a lion, a serpent, ...
