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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Protein accumulations do important work in the human body, but something can go wrong and proliferate in those aggregates, ...

Using an approach called DNA origami, scientists at Caltech have developed a technique that could lead to cheaper, reusable ...

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

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 ...

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