Membrane proteins are proteins that are part of or interact with cell membranes, and they are responsible for carrying out the majority of the functions of these membranes. Membrane proteins account ...

Protein condensates (shown here in a microscope image) are critical to the process of gene expression in cells, and condensate formation depends on proteins’ intrinsically disordered regions, a new ...

An essential component of many viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, are proteases which cleave its own proteins as well as those in the cell. Many viruses rely on proteases to process polypeptides into ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. " We know each of the proteins ...
