Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

Protein arginylation is an evolutionarily conserved post‐translational modification whereby arginine is covalently attached to specific residues on target proteins. Mediated principally by the enzyme ...

A hallmark of Parkinson's disease is the buildup of Lewy bodies—misfolded clumps of the protein known as alpha-synuclein.

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

An investigation by researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in the US has filled in a missing link between the toxic build-up of proteins in the neurodegenerative condition ...

Scientists have long been trying to tease apart hepatitis A virus, to understand its inner workings and how it functions in the human body. Infectious disease researchers have discovered that a little ...

Scientists at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, (NUS Medicine), have identified a molecular switch that helps aging brains ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

For decades, scientists have known that a misbehaving protein sits at the heart of Parkinson’s disease, yet the precise chain ...

Liver cancer is one of the three deadliest cancers worldwide, and metabolic dysfunction-related cases have become ...

Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but ...
