In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

A new artificial intelligence model can predict how different proteins may bind to DNA. A new artificial intelligence model developed by USC researchers and published in Nature Methods can predict how ...

Dps proteins (DNA-binding proteins from starved cells) are vital components in the defence strategies of bacteria facing environmental stress. These proteins not only bind and compact chromosomal DNA, ...

Temporary protein-protein bonds are essential for processes including enzymatic reactions, antibody binding, and response to medication. Being able to accurately characterize these bonds is important ...

Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they ...

All biochemical reactions involve recognition, binding, and the formation of noncovalent complexes. Many small molecule drugs act by selectively binding to protein or nucleic acid targets and altering ...

In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving electrical measurement precision and enabling detection of subtle structural changes ...

A new artificial intelligence model developed by USC researchers and published in Nature Methods can predict how different proteins may bind to DNA with accuracy across different types of protein, a ...
