Protein engineering and self-assembly techniques have transformed our capacity to design and manipulate protein structures for diverse applications. Through a combination of rational design and ...

Bioengineers developed a road map for the protein-protein interactions that give rise to gas vesicles, naturally occurring nanobubbles with potential use in biomedical applications. As far as water ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular machines ...

In a twist on the question, 'Which came first, the chicken or the egg?', scientists have long faced a similar question about how human adenovirus replicates: 'Which comes first, assembly of the viral ...

Beta-coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, have caused global health problems. How the virus infects host cells and triggers immunological responses has been investigated extensively. However, how the ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the ...

Real-time and in-line accurate measuring of protein (monoclonal antibody, or mAb) concentration has been shown across a wide dynamic range (0–135 g/L) through the ...
