Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

The study presents valuable findings of an optimized E. coli cell-free protein synthesis (eCFPS) system that has been simplified by reducing the number of core components from 35 to 7; furthermore, ...

Joint research between the universities of Calgary and Lethbridge has unlocked a new understanding of sperm function, opening up possibilities for fertility in the cattle industry. There has been a ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

Professor Lijia Wang's group at East China Normal University, in collaboration with Academician Yong Tang of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed a ...

A new AI model is opening the black box of the leading artificial intelligence tool for predicting how proteins will interact with small molecules, such as drugs. The model, OpenFold3, which launched ...

Researchers demonstrated how amino acids could spontaneously attach to RNA under early Earth-like conditions using thioesters, providing a long-sought clue to the origins of protein synthesis. This ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

The strategies biopharmaceutical manufacturers currently use to limit protein misfolding are complex, time-consuming, and generate low yields with only limited scalability. Covalent organic frameworks ...

Exercise researcher Nicholas Burd says there was a long-held belief in his field that making gains in the gym required eating meat or other animal products. This wasn't a matter of bro science — the ...

Skeletal muscle atrophy is associated with denervation, cancer, diabetes, aging, immobilization, and inflammation, which can significantly impair mobility. It is primarily attributable to increased ...
