Large-scale protein and gene profiling have massively expanded the landscape of cancer-associated proteins and gene mutations, but it has been difficult to discern whether they play an active role in ...

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, ...

From matcha and sober-curious sips to gut-friendly tonics, protein power and tropical spritzes, functional beverages are ...

Scientists organize millions of proteins by shape, as predicted by AI, revealing 700,000 new families and some shapes unique ...

Discover how protein fortification is reshaping snacks and beverages, from high-protein bars and cookies to carbonated whey ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the fundamental building blocks of proteins. They play a crucial role in the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. Amino ...

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 ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...
