The chaperonin system is pivotal in maintaining cellular proteostasis through its ATP-dependent mediation of protein folding. Among these, the TRiC/CCT complex has emerged as a key molecular machine ...

Yeast cells are widely used to study G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a large group of cell surface proteins in humans. However, several of these proteins lose their function when introduced into ...

The protein GBP1 is an essential part of the human body's defense mechanism against infections. However, the mechanism by ...

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

And it’s giving the data away for free, which could spur new scientific discoveries. DeepMind says its AlphaFold tool has successfully predicted the structure of nearly all proteins known to science.

HYDERABAD: Scientists at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have discovered that proteins are not limited to a fixed three-dimensional structure to function. Instead, their ...
