For decades, scientists have understood proteins primarily through two defining features: their amino acid sequence and their ...

An international team of researchers, including Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science Tokyo, has developed a protein ...

Proteins and peptides are the primary functional polymers of medical biochemistry, directing virtually all cellular processes through their structural diversity, catalytic activities and signalling ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics. Many ...

Atlanta—ACS Spring 2026, a meeting of the American Chemical Society, began with a flurry of talks early Sunday morning. During a session hosted by the Division of Biochemistry and Chemical Biology ...

In the ERC project HelixMold, a team from TU Graz developed a method for the computer-based design of artificial proteins, with a focus on custom biocatalysts for pharmaceutical applications or the ...

Amyloids are perhaps best known as a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease. The amorphous proteins, found throughout the human body, stick to nerve cells like plaque, choking off their function and ...
