The accurate determination of protein concentration is a foundational requirement in molecular biology, proteomics, and clinical diagnostics. Choosing the most appropriate protein quantification ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

A new method for analyzing protein crystals—developed by Cornell University researchers and given a funky two-part name—could open up applications for new drug discovery and other areas of ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new ...

Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Proteins are made of chains of amino acids, and a basic tenet of biology is that the sequence of amino acids determines how a protein folds into a 3D shape which, in turn, dictates the protein’s ...

At the University of Oxford, scientists have developed a nanopore technology that can identify three different post-translational modifications (PTMs) in individual proteins, even deep within long ...
