Protein palmitoylation and lipid modifications are essential post‐translational processes that regulate protein localisation, stability and function by the covalent attachment of fatty acid chains.

At the University of Oxford, scientists have developed a nanopore technology that can identify three different post-translational modifications (PTMs) in individual proteins, even deep within long ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically reactive molecules that arise as natural by-products of cellular metabolism and through environmental exposures. Their overproduction, especially upon ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called DeepMVP and ...

Exploring the post-translational modifications of a key protein in Parkinson's disease, researchers uncover potential pathways for future therapies in neurodegenerative diseases in general.

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, present a significant health challenge, affecting over 50 million people globally. One common feature of these diseases is the ...

Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...

Scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine say they have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have now discovered that this complex also contributes a crucial function in ...

Respiratory infections, pink eye, or an upset stomach may seem like unrelated, mild inconveniences, but all of these ailments share one root cause: adenovirus infection. Many of us will encounter some ...
