Protein arginylation is an evolutionarily conserved post‐translational modification whereby arginine is covalently attached to specific residues on target proteins. Mediated principally by the enzyme ...

A research collaboration has found that besides regulating the fusion of mitochondria, Mitofusin 2 also ensures protein quality control. This discovery could open up new routes to treating ...

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

Researchers have identified a key molecular interaction that accelerates Parkinson’s disease by damaging the brain’s energy ...

Protein aggregates, damaged organelles, and invading bacteria are identified and removed in healthy cells. An international ...

Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at ...

If you're aiming to build muscles, your diet should have high-protein foods. They supply essential amino acids that are ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have discovered that a protein called hnRNPM helps protect the integrity of the process cells use to make proteins. The protein ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing biochemical reactions and transporting molecules to providing structural support ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

Aging is inevitable, but how quickly visible aging shows up—especially in the skin—is influenced by far more than birthdays ...
