Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they can improve rapid medical tests for infectious diseases. The work has been ...

Unlike traditional proteins, its short structure allows it to act as an epigenetic modulator, potentially influencing gene ...

Various approaches to such protein redesign have drawbacks. Traditional methods include time-consuming trial and error efforts, and many models in the emerging field ...

This article explores how advances in AI, structural biology, and new drug modalities are transforming “undruggable” proteins ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

Scientists have decoded the 3D structure of an ancient viral protein hidden in our DNA. The HERV-K Env protein, found on cancer and autoimmune cells, has a unique shape that could unlock new ...

New Houston Methodist research has revealed that a protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also plays a role in regulating DNA ...
