Evolution has been fine-tuning life at the molecular level for billions of years. Proteins, the fundamental building blocks of life, have evolved through this process to perform various biological ...

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 ...

"Understanding the mechanisms that cause the originally folded proteins to transform into pathogenic forms is of crucial importance for the development of therapeutic strategies," says Jörg Tatzelt.

i-Ome Discovery can also be used to study protein-protein and small molecule-protein interactions, expanding its applications to broader areas of research. What makes i-Ome Discovery unique is its use ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...
