Researchers found a protein that's essential for an enterovirus to enter human cells. Although not the infamous example—that ...

Protein-protein interactions govern a large number of biological processes. A number of cell surface and nuclear receptors mediate their actions via dimerization. While this has been well ...

The spike protein of the coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, binds to ACE2, a receptor on the host cells, which allows the virus to enter the cells and infect it. Binding is the first step for infection, and ...

Researchers at the VIB-UGent Center for Medical Biotechnology have discovered a promising strategy to improve treatment responses in multiple myeloma patients by blocking a protein that plays a key ...

The androgen receptor is a key protein that drives the progression of prostate cancer. When androgens (hormones responsible for developing male characteristics) bind to the androgen receptor, they ...
