By extending a naturally rigid bacterial protein by 50% while preserving geometry and stability, the study introduces protein ...

This fuzzy coat surrounds a rigid inner core that is made from folded protein strands known as beta sheets. Hong and her ...

A research team engineered a rigid, nanometer-scale protein module to address the challenge of measuring antibody flexibility ...

MIT chemists used NMR spectroscopy to reveal the disordered “fuzzy coat” surrounding Tau protein fibrils, offering new ...

One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the clumping of proteins called Tau, which form tangled fibrils in the brain.

Monica MacDonald is an alumna whose dissertation research was focused on natural product biosynthesis and protein structure-function relationships.

Membrane proteins, as their name implies, are proteins located in or associated with the cell membrane. These proteins make up a significant portion of the proteome, estimated to be between 20% and 30 ...
