Alzheimer's disease affects an estimated 7.2 million Americans age 65 and older, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Current tests often measure the levels of two proteins-amyloid beta (Aβ) and ...

Scientists have developed a new blood test that could spot Alzheimer’s earlier by detecting hidden changes in how proteins fold in the bloodstream.

Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational chemistry, is not unlike using the Rosetta Stone to unlock the secrets of ancient ...

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a ...

Research led by scientists at Washington State University has revealed insights on how plants form a microscopic landscape of proteins crucial to photosynthesis, the basis of Earth's food and energy ...

Researchers have developed a diagnostic panel that identifies cognitive decline by analyzing how blood proteins fold. This ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins lack a fixed structure, which is why they have been considered "undruggable" targets for ...

Jane Richardson never considered herself an artist. Then, in the late 1970s, the structural biologist found herself in need of some colored pencils, pastels and sketching paper. Richardson, a ...

Researchers have identified a new type of blood-based biomarker test for Alzheimer's disease that measures structural changes in proteins, providing more information on the underlying biology of the ...

Researchers developed a saliva based SERS platform that detects epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia by analyzing protein structural changes with up to 98% accuracy.
