Researchers at the University of Bayreuth and Forschungszentrum Jülich have demonstrated that specific light-sensitive ...

In eukaryotes, genomic DNA, which is a very long double helix containing all the genetic information, wraps around a globular protein called a histone and folds it many times before being contained ...

The level of the amino acid histidine in blood plasma is a key factor determining the effectiveness of immunotherapy in patients with advanced forms of cancer. This was reported by the journal Nature ...

A research team has uncovered a previously unknown type of immune signaling molecule—a novel compound combining histidine and ADP-ribose—produced by bacteria's Thoeris II defense system in response to ...

Proteins are subject to post-translational chemical modifications that result in functional diversity. Methylation is one such modification that is generally believed to occur on lysine and arginine ...

Scientists have revealed new information on how red light-regulated histidine kinases function. According to the study, altering of the length of a specific 'linker helix' region of the protein can ...

A team has found a way to make the bacterial enzyme histidine kinase water-soluble, which could make it possible to rapidly screen potential antibiotics that might interfere with its functions. A ...

Suitable for bioprocessing, solubilization, and stabilization applications, the new histidine products allow for the control of endotoxin and trace metal impurities reflected with elemental impurity ...
