UT researchers have developed the first viable alternative to a 75-year-old method for sequencing proteins. Image of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Scientists at The University of Texas ...

Atlanta—ACS Spring 2026, a meeting of the American Chemical Society, began with a flurry of talks early Sunday morning. During a session hosted by the Division of Biochemistry and Chemical Biology ...

In a study published in Nature Methods, a research group developed a highly sensitive proteomics method called peptide-centric local stability assay (PELSA), which enables the simultaneous ...

Massive volumes of digital data are generated every day from AI training, big data analytics and smart devices. As ...

An innovative machine learning approach has been shown to rapidly predict multiple protein configurations. A new paper presents the method that predicts the relative populations of protein ...

Most researchers know they need a pure protein. Few talk about how genuinely difficult it is to get one. A cell lysate contains thousands of proteins competing for the same space. Your target is in ...

Why do problems occur with a special variant of 'protein glues', the split inteins, that severely limit their use in producing proteins? A team has now answered this question. Proteins are the ...

Proteins are workhorses that carry out most of the biological functions in our cells. While the genes we inherit from our parents, our so-called genome, are fixed and usually remain unchanged ...

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 ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life. They consist of folded peptide chains, which in turn are made up of a series of amino acids. From stabilising cell structure to catalysing chemical reactions, ...
