At the University of Oxford, scientists have developed a nanopore technology that can identify three different post-translational modifications (PTMs) in individual proteins, even deep within long ...

In synthetic and structural biology, advances in artificial intelligence have led to an explosion of designing new proteins ...

SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC) (the "Company" or "SciSparc"), a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of therapies to treat disorders of the central nervous system, ...

Chronic stress disrupts O-glycans in the mouse prefrontal cortex. The findings open new possibilities for depression treatment.

It's been generally assumed that RNA molecules and proteins have only limited or transient interactions in cells, like when proteins that can bind to RNA molecules influence the translation of genes, ...

Lactylation, a recently identified post-translational modification, has emerged as important for immune regulation, tissue repair, cancer cell metabolism, and now, potentially, Alzheimer’s disease. In ...

An AI model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease has been developed. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine (TX, USA) have developed an AI model that reveals how ...

A new study on fatty acid acylation, or attachment, patterns onto proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans, a type of roundworm, provides a foundation for future discoveries around protein function and its ...

Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are enzymes used by cells to trim protein modifications made from the protein ubiquitin, and thereby regulate proteins. Malfunctioning of DUBs could lead to diseases, including ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Using genomics, researchers map exomes and whole genomes and identify genetic markers and gene variants. However, one key limitation of ...
