Plants produce special molecules that act like natural pesticides to help defend themselves against pests. Unfortunately, ...

Researchers discovered AP2A1, a protein controlling cellular aging. Lower AP2A1 reversed aging effects, while higher levels ...

Synthetic proteins that promote multi-step catalysis have previously proven challenging to engineer. But the team behind this ...

AP2A1 could serve as a biomarker for aging and a target for therapies aimed at slowing down or even reversing the aging ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. “The protein scaffold for making daughter buds has a surprising number of redundancies,” said Bradley. “Only some of these earliest daughter ...

In addition, the researchers found that AP2A1 is often closely associated with integrin β1, a protein that helps cells latch ...

During this process a protein scaffold remains intact. Only the proteins bound to it change, according to the team of ...

What's more, amyloids' natural function when working correctly is in part as a scaffold for other mechanisms, the team explains. While the role of these many other protein suspects still needs ...

A designed polypeptide scaffold contains a surface immobilization domain and a target capture domain for flexible protein arraying. 'Microarray' might just be the hottest buzzword in biology today.

Rather than begin with a red fluorescent protein scaffold and engineer it to make it brighter or shift the excitation further to the far-red, they decided to start fresh with a new scaffold to ...
