Embedded in the boundary between the inside and outside of each cell are membrane proteins. They act as first responders by ...

Enzymes are regarded as the key to sustainable chemistry. Despite major advances in protein design, creating artificial enzymes from scratch has so far remained a grand challenge. A research team at ...

Proteins are responsible for most functions in the human body. However, their analysis, which is essential for understanding diseases, developing drugs and discovering new biomarkers, remains highly ...

Proteins are workhorses that carry out most of the biological functions in our cells. While the genes we inherit from our parents, our so-called genome, are fixed and usually remain unchanged ...

Proteins are responsible for most functions in the human body. However, their analysis, which is essential for understanding ...

A new protein-design workflow turns inactive artificial scaffolds into efficient enzymes, opening paths to greener chemistry and biotech.

Why do problems occur with a special variant of 'protein glues', the split inteins, that severely limit their use in producing proteins? A team has now answered this question. Proteins are the ...

UT researchers have developed the first viable alternative to a 75-year-old method for sequencing proteins. Image of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Scientists at The University of Texas ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

The Section of Chemistry and Biochemistry has had for a long time an excellent scientific reputation at an international ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life. They consist of folded peptide chains, which in turn are made up of a series of amino acids. From stabilising cell structure to catalysing chemical reactions, ...
