The assembly of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Gram-negative bacteria is a fundamental process that underpins bacterial viability and resilience. Central to this process is the β-barrel assembly ...

Bioengineers developed a road map for the protein-protein interactions that give rise to gas vesicles, naturally occurring nanobubbles with potential use in biomedical applications. As far as water ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

(Nanowerk News) Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But a critical aspect underlying the machinery of protein ...

Proteins often function in pairs or groups, concealing their internal connection points and making it difficult for ...

Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in their paper in Nature. Ribosomes, the cell’s dedicated molecular machines ...

A study by Oregon Health & Science University researchers has uncovered a new way proteins can be changed inside cells. This discovery could be important for understanding how the immune system works.
