Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.
A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has uncovered new clues to why some therapeutic proteins are so difficult to manufacture. The work—led by Nathan Lewis, PhD, ...
Ubiquitin marks proteins for degradation, whereby ubiquitin molecules can be combined in different types and numbers forming different chains. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...
The host cell system is a critical determinant of recombinant protein quality and yield, with direct influence on protein folding and post-translational modification factors that shape the ...
When a gene produces too much protein, it can have devastating consequences on brain development and function. Patients with an overproduction of protein from the chromodomain helicase DNA binding ...
Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...
