A groundbreaking study has revealed a surprising biochemical connection between plant immune responses and human neurological health. Researchers have discovered that the metabolic pathways regulating ...

Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein normally expressed in cells that develop into connective tissue, ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have reported on the structure and light energy transfer efficiency of a protein ...

All biological function is dependent on how different proteins interact with each other. Protein-protein interactions ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism — a novel genomically recoded organism ...

This study is the first to demonstrate that certain tRNA introns influence gene expression. Scientists have discovered that ...

Researchers have identified two key genes, SbSLT1 and SbSLT2, that help sorghum resist Striga by preventing its germination.

Of the 20 essential amino acids, nine are actually essential. Of those nine, three are branch-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Leucine falls into both groups. All BCAAS are vital for building and ...

Proteins are biopolymers of amino acids (polypeptides), joined by peptide bonds, that are generated by ribosomes. The amino acid sequence, encoded by its gene, determines a protein’s structure ...

Dietary measures and medications may help reduce uric acid and manage gout. Gout can occur when blood uric acid levels are too high, causing crystals to form in the toes, feet, and other joints.
