Protein palmitoylation and lipid modifications are essential post‐translational processes that regulate protein localisation, stability and function by the covalent attachment of fatty acid chains.

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

Exploring the post-translational modifications of a key protein in Parkinson's disease, researchers uncover potential pathways for future therapies in neurodegenerative diseases in general.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called DeepMVP and ...

An AI model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease has been developed. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine (TX, USA) have developed an AI model that reveals how ...

Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...

Strands of DNA wrapped around a histone. Credit: Molekuul/Science Source Histones are among the most abundant proteins in the body. They act as spools that help compact DNA so our enormous genomes ...
