Scientists observe ribosomal cooperation that prevents pauses in protein synthesis, revealing new dynamics for cellular ...

Machine learning and supercomputing have brought about a revolution in computational drug discovery. More therapeutic candidates, like antibodies that bind to and fight the SARS-CoV-2 virus, can be ...

Most proteins are left-handed, but scientists have found an ancient molecule that works in both mirror-image forms.

Fast-digesting proteins with a high proportion of essential amino acids, especially leucine, are most effective in promoting muscle protein synthesis, particularly around physical activity.

A new study asked three questions about muscle protein synthesis in response to a nine-day diet and weight training regimen: First, does the source of protein—plant or animal-based—make any ...

Despite being deficient in many essential vitamins and nutrients, protein has garnered consumers’ attention. But why? Low carb, low sugar, low fat but high in protein. It’s the magical buzzword that ...

Is the desire to eat a high-protein diet and the MAGA movement correlated? According to a report from Vanity Fair, it is. The May 1 article titled "Why Are Americans So Obsessed With Protein?

There are many protein myths, but one thing is certain: Your body needs the complex molecules to function, and many of us aren’t getting enough. It’s a key macronutrient (along with ...

Genetically encoded tags, including fluorescent proteins and epitope sequences, are widely used to monitor protein behavior. Large tags can alter protein localization or disrupt native interactions.

An international study has shown that increasing levels of the Klotho protein in mice extends lifespan and improves both physical and cognitive health when aging. An international study led by the ...

Following on from a remarkable study in mice, scientists have now confirmed that silencing a certain protein in muscle ... cells was not conducive to the synthesis of new fats," Gross said.
