Protein and peptide tags can profoundly alter condensation in a tag- and protein-specific manner, both in cells and in vitro, ...

Inside cells, RNAs and proteins form tiny, liquid-like droplets called biomolecular condensates. These droplets are essential ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have applied ideas from polymer physics to illuminate the mechanism behind a ...

Researchers have demonstrated that dissolving precursor protein clusters hindered the formation of tau fibrils in solution.

Chemical topology is a unique dimension for protein engineering. Over the past few years, the discovery of topological nontrivial proteins in nature has already revealed their many potential ...

Researchers have determined how the pandemic coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 inhibits the synthesis of proteins in infected cells and shown that it effectively disarms the body's innate immune system.

Water confined inside molecular cavities can supercharge chemical bonds and could perhaps reshape drug design.

Researchers found that tau proteins don’t jump straight into forming Alzheimer’s-associated fibrils—first they assemble into ...
