Atomic Force Microscopy has revealed a dozen new short-lived intermediate states in the folding and unfolding of a membrane protein that controls the exchange of chemicals and ions into and out of living cells.

Ccomplex nanoparticle crystals made by design, with possible applications including controlling light, capturing pollutants and delivering therapeutics.

Working with yeast and human cells, researchers at Johns Hopkins say they have discovered an unexpected route for cells to eliminate protein clumps.

Adding two blood-borne proteins associated with cancer cell migration increases the predictive ability of the current biomarker for pancreatic cancer to detect early stage disease, a research team from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reports.

Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM/SRM) of peptides is a growing technology for target protein quantification because it is more robust, precise, accurate, high-throughput, and multiplex-capable than antibody-based techniques such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs).

Funding will be used to prepare for international clinical study to evaluate the Company’s ELISA-based urine test for prostate cancer.

Only a few key proteins determine the life and heat-induced death of a cell. Researchers show that only a small fraction of key proteins denature at the same time when a critical temperature threshold is reached.

Three-dimensional structures of amyloid fibrils on Staphylococcus aureus were obtained using x-ray microcrystallography. These fibrils are thought to be how Staphylococcus aureus attacks cells.

You can now access the world's most detailed, searchable index of all the proteins found in the bottlenose dolphin genome - an invaluable resource for wildlife biologists, veterinary professionals and biomedical researchers.
