Protein function prediction and annotation represent critical challenges in the post‐genomic era. As high‐throughput sequencing continues to generate vast amounts of protein data, computational ...

Here’s what tofu is and why it can be good for you in moderation.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an essential role in tissue repair, neuroprotection and immune health. By ...

Proteins are the tiny machines that keep our cells running, and how long they last in the cell often determines how well they ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics.

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Diet choices, excess protein intake and frequent painkiller use can quietly harm your kidneys. Know the early warning signs ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new approach called “optovolution.” This technique uses light to guide the evolution ...

How much protein is safe? Find out from a nephrologist about the risks of excessive protein consumption.

Optimal health is best supported by a balanced diet that includes adequate protein along with vegetables, vitamins, whole ...
