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 ...

Many biological functions are regulated by the switching on and off of mechanisms triggered by the matching of a keyhole ...

Video - Compilation of protein condensate formation. Full video available from Supplementary Information of the original article .

tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

Learn how modified fluorescent proteins are evolving into quantum sensors, enhancing our understanding of cellular processes.

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.
