Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators at Stony Brook University and the Institute of Advanced Sciences in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, have ...

While seeking to unravel how marine algae create their chemically complex toxins, scientists have discovered the largest protein yet identified in biology. Uncovering the biological machinery the ...

It’s hard to imagine that a snail could kill a person, but a particularly venomous group of marine molluscs called cone ...

"In MND, proteins misfold more frequently and the cell's degradation systems become overwhelmed and stop working properly. The misfolded protein can then accumulate, forming clumps or 'aggregates' and ...

A new study reveals the hidden mechanism a common gut bacterium uses to damage the colon, solving a mystery that has puzzled ...

For decades, researchers have worked to untangle the biological causes of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. A primary focus has been the accumulation of misfolded proteins that ...

Researchers discover the largest protein yet identified in biology, all thanks to an investigation of a marine alga’s creates toxin synthesis. In a recent study, researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps ...

It has been a few years since AI began successfully tackling the challenge of predicting the three-dimensional structure of proteins, complex molecules that are essential for all life. Next-generation ...

Although oral cholera vaccines exist, the recent spike in cases and limited production capacity have outpaced the global vaccine supply, prompting researchers to explore alternative protection ...
