One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the clumping of proteins called Tau, which form tangled fibrils in the brain.

Jia’s team developed a protocol to improve the screening of protein pockets. This involved identifying the pockets, removing ...

When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...

Quantum physics is no longer confined to cryogenic chips and vacuum chambers. It is starting to seep into the machinery of ...

As biological data volume continues to grow, sequence-based AI is poised to become the dominant discovery layer across pharma ...

MIT chemists used NMR spectroscopy to reveal the disordered “fuzzy coat” surrounding Tau protein fibrils, offering new ...

Proteins form the building blocks of life, but when they form unusual clumps inside the brain, they raise an alarm that ...

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) and the Cancer Research Institute at Kanazawa University led have uncovered how targeted lung cancer drugs alter the shape and behavior of a ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...

Scientists at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have captured real-time images showing how ...
