For decades, scientists have largely relied on painstaking trial and error to coax proteins into crystalline forms.

Every time a cell divides, it must accurately copy and distribute its DNA between two new cells. However, in some cases, ...

Studies into protein crystals could lead to the emergence of a new technological platform that enable scientists to design ...

For decades, scientists have largely relied on painstaking trial and error to coax proteins into crystalline forms.

Our DNA is under constant threat. Chemicals, radiation and the everyday errors of cell division all damage it, and if left ...

Researchers from Western University have discovered a protein that has the never-before-seen ability to stop DNA damage in its tracks. The finding could provide the foundation for developing ...

ALS-causing NEK1 gene mutations disrupt cellular protein production machinery. Truncated NEK1 protein accumulates in the nucleolus, impairing ribosome biogenesis. This disruption leads to cell death ...

Researchers have built an artificial protein motor that walks in a set direction along a strand of DNA. It moves one step at a time, under second-by-second control. The motor is assembled from protein ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...
