Proteins and peptides form the cornerstone of cellular function, serving not only as essential catalysts and structural components but also as mediators of signalling and regulation in health and ...

Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals and chemistry of living organisms. Biochemists study biomolecules (such as proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and lipids), their applications and interactions in ...

All cells need to sense and respond to their environment, to know when to activate genes, build proteins, and carry out their ...

In a study published in the journal Nucleic Acid Research, a research team at Karolinska Institutet has performed a ...

Proteins are often called the building blocks of cells, but even those building blocks need to be built. One of the most important steps in the process of building proteins is glycosylation, when ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers developed "DeepGO-SE," a method to predict gene ontology (GO) functions from protein sequences using a large, ...

Proteins perform a vast array of functions in the cell of every living organism with critical roles in biological processes. There are numerous chemical switches that control the structure and the ...

A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that draws logical inferences about the function of unknown proteins promises to help scientists unravel the inner workings of the cell. Developed by KAUST ...

A new study identifies a biological process that empowers specific brain cells to eliminate harmful proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease. By increasing the levels of a specific regulatory ...

The origins of millions of tiny proteins in our bodies, previously assumed to be useless, have now been discovered. A study published on February 17 in the journal Molecular Cell describes how these ...

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function ...
