Proteins are fundamental building blocks of life, composed of folded peptide chains formed by sequences of amino acids. They perform a wide range of functions, from maintaining cellular structures to ...

Two new tools for quantifying protein aggregation promise to amplify our understanding of prion function and inheritance and the role of protein aggregates in healthy and diseased cells. What is ...

A selective protein degradation system known as Golgi membrane-associated degradation (GOMED), which identifies and removes ...

The impact of the Drosophila experimental system on studies of modern biology cannot be understated. The ability to tag endogenously expressed proteins is essential to maximize the use of this model ...

In vivo protein expression includes cloning a gene of interest with the essential control elements into an expression vector, and then transforming the vector into an easily grown organism or cell ...
