Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their ...

Yeast cells are widely used to study G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a large group of cell surface proteins in humans. However, several of these proteins lose their function when introduced into ...

The chaperonin system is pivotal in maintaining cellular proteostasis through its ATP-dependent mediation of protein folding. Among these, the TRiC/CCT complex has emerged as a key molecular machine ...

Proteins perform a vast array of functions in the cell of every living organism with critical roles in biological processes. There are numerous chemical switches that control the structure and the ...

Calcium sensor proteins are fundamental modulators of photoreceptor cell function, where they detect fluctuations in intracellular Ca²⁺ levels to finely tune the phototransduction cascade. These ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report that they have probed the atomic structure of proteins to add evidence to the notion that the wobbles, shakes and quivers of proteins play a critical role in ...

Cell biology researchers at the Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen have made a discovery about two ciliary ...
