Researchers reveal the fundamental role that mRNA’s tail, the 3′UTR, plays in the folding of complex regulatory proteins. Proteins are how cells get work done. They carry out nearly every important ...

In the earliest phase of creating human proteins, the protein complex NAC performs an essential task by starting the first steps toward folding proteins into their correct three-dimensional structures ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

"Non-covalent lasso entanglement is a class of misfolding we recently identified where a loop of the protein traps another segment of the protein, essentially intertwining itself incorrectly," O'Brien ...
