A novel study uncovers how a subtle chemical tweak transforms the naturally occurring phytotoxin into a powerful molecular ...

Imagine a cancer treatment that precisely targets malignant cells, leaving healthy ones untouched. Consider, also, a cancer treatment that corrects abnormal protein synthesis to produce healthy ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings (DNA) announced on Thursday that, in collaboration with Microsoft (MSFT)-backed OpenAI (OPENAI), it has designed an AI system that can lower costs in cell-free protein ...
