Imagine a city under constant threat from invaders. The city's defense system deploys a sophisticated anti-missile defense ...

An oxygen sensor protein protects the enzymatic machinery of biological nitrogen fixation from serious damage, and its use in ...

Integral membrane proteins carry out essential functions in the cell, and their activities are often modulated by specific protein-lipid interactions in the membrane. Here, we elucidate the intricate ...

Structural biology has recently observed the marrying of two remarkably complimentary techniques for the study of protein structure and interaction: cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) and the ...

Ribosomal translation is the process by which cells synthesize proteins based on the genetic instructions encoded in ...

The importance of this technology has also been recognized in Thailand, and the first cryo-electron microscope was introduced at Mahidol University last year. In this research, we aim to provide ...

The bacterial cell wall is crucial to maintain viability. It has previously been suggested that Gram-positive bacteria have a periplasmic region between the cell membrane and peptidoglycan cell wall ...

A research team has discovered how the 'Shethna protein II' protects the nitrogen-fixing enzyme nitrogenase from damage. The oxygen sensor protein could help to make nitrogenase usable in ...

Spike. © Emphase/EPFL The use of generative artificial intelligence in protein design stands to revolutionize new drug ...

Here an iron-sulfur protein named FeSII senses increasing amounts of oxygen in the cell and binds to the nitrogenase enzyme ...
