Proteins need a priority code in their address labels to efficiently enter cell powerhouses. New research shows this code helps them recruit a helper protein, TOMM34, speeding up delivery crucial for ...

When Hailey Bieber included the peptide lip treatment as one of the debut offerings from her cosmetics label Rhode in June ...

Tiny fat bubbles carrying gene therapy have successfully repaired DNA in the lungs and liver of animals with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency—a promising leap toward treating humans with this rare ...

In a new study, Nobel laureate David Baker and colleagues detail new methods for targeting undruggable "disordered" proteins.

Hims & Hers is evolving beyond its original focus, aggressively expanding into peptides and GLP-1. Read why I reiterate my Buy rating on HIMS stock.

Figure’s 2025 plans for the home aren’t entirely clear, but “alpha” certainly implies that home testing will remain in the very early stages for the remainder of the year.

Researchers from Mainz University and EMBL Hamburg present a new approach to determine the form of disordered proteins by using two different methods simultaneously in a single sample. Their findings ...

Collagen, a protein found in bones and connective tissue, has been found in dinosaur fossils as old as 195 million years.

The authors identify a mechanical model of activation of Abelson kinase involving the modification of stability of an alpha helix by mutations and different classes of inhibitors. They use NMR ...

Compounds that obstruct the "landing gear" of a range of harmful viruses can successfully protect against infection by the virus that causes COVID-19, a study led by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute ...

The lysine/glutamic acid/arginine region in chromatin assembly factor (CAF-1) forms a long single alpha-helix DNA-binding domain, facilitating the recognition of tetrasome-length DNA and linking ...

At pH ≥7.0, the peptide is unstructured. In the low-pH tumor microenvironment the peptide forms an alpha helix and inserts directionally into the tumor cell membrane delivering the linker and payload ...
