A team at ETH Zurich developed a new peptide-based organocatalyst that handles macrocycle formation from start to finish. Macrocyclic compounds are ubiquitous both in nature and in the chemical ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...

Video - Compilation of protein condensate formation. Full video available from Supplementary Information of the original article .

Studying tiny bits of genetic material that control protein formation in the brain, Johns Hopkins University scientists say they have new clues to how memories are made and how drugs might someday be ...

Study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...
