A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein synthesis right at the start. An international research team with significant ...

The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into "complexes" to fulfill their functions. A study by the ...

The biosynthetic pathway of specific steroidal compounds in nightshade plants (such as potatoes, tomatoes and eggplants) starts with cholesterol. Several studies have investigated the enzymes involved ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

The field of protein production is seeing widespread adoption of cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS), revolutionising the industry with its high-throughput and cost-effective capabilities. This ...

If you're aiming to build muscles, your diet should have high-protein foods. They supply essential amino acids that are ...
