Researchers decipher the function of an ion channel involved in cellular degradation processes and create new possibilities for Parkinson’s therapies. Washbowls, bathtubs, and sinks are all fitted ...

Researchers have identified a crucial ion channel, TMEM175, that acts like an overflow valve in the cell’s recycling system. It regulates acidity inside lysosomes, ensuring they function properly.

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics. Many ...

Proteins are essential macromolecules that play a crucial role in virtually all biological processes. They are the building blocks of life, performing a wide range of functions within organisms, from ...

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. It involves the systematic identification, quantification, and analysis of the entire protein complement ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...
