Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) harnesses the molecular machinery of living cells in an open in vitro environment to produce proteins without the constraints of cell viability. Derived from crude ...

Ribosome heterogeneity is a paradigm in biology, pertaining to the existence of structurally distinct populations of ribosomes within a single organism or cell. This concept suggests that structurally ...

In the earliest phase of creating human proteins, the protein complex NAC performs an essential task by starting the first steps toward folding proteins into their correct three-dimensional structures ...

A novel study uncovers how a subtle chemical tweak transforms the naturally occurring phytotoxin into a powerful molecular glue, 12-deoxyfusicoccin (12-dFC), that locks 14-3-3 proteins onto the ...

Viral membrane proteins are the proteins of choice in vaccines but are difficult to produce quickly and reliably for use in vaccines, limiting rapid response during emerging outbreaks. Researchers ...
