A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the mitochondria appear to be able to influence the number of lipid droplets in the cell ...

The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20100 ...

For much of modern biology, scientists argued that viruses are not alive, pointing to a basic limitation: they cannot make proteins on their own and must depend entirely on the cells they infect for ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how scientists understand proteins—these are working molecules that drive nearly every process in the human body, from cell growth and immune defense to ...

Alan Herbert, Founder and President of InsideOutBio, discusses the evolution of biological concepts related to DNA and protein structures ...

Researchers found that TEX38 and ZDHHC19 co-localize on the plasma membrane of spermatids and mediate S-palmitoylation of ARRDC5, a crucial protein for spermatogenesis. Disrupting either TEX38 or ...

Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) are critical for biological systems to function properly. Strong interactions maintain structural integrity and function, whereas weaker interactions enable ...

Ancient microbes tied to our earliest ancestors could use oxygen, reshaping ideas about how complex life began on Earth.
