The amino acid side chains of proteins undergo various post-translational modifications (PTMs) which significantly impact protein function and mediate complex cellular events. Measuring the dynamics, ...

One of the main goals of proteomics is to unravel the many modifications important for biological activity. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) extend the range of protein function by attaching it ...

The focus of vertebrate studies has mainly been on canonical phosphorylation, but research indicates that phosphorylation of other non-canonical amino acids also regulates integral aspects of cell ...

A team of scientists led by the University of Oxford have achieved a significant breakthrough in detecting modifications on protein structures. The method, published in Nature Nanotechnology, employs ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Proteins are subject to post-translational chemical modifications that result in functional diversity. Methylation is one such modification that is generally believed to occur on lysine ...

Tuberculosis is a serious health threat, and the efficacy of the BCG vaccine against tuberculosis diminishes in adulthood, making booster vaccines a realistic option. Mycobacterial DNA-binding protein ...

An AI model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease has been developed. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine (TX, USA) have developed an AI model that reveals how ...

Respiratory infections, pink eye, or an upset stomach may seem like unrelated, mild inconveniences, but all of these ailments share one root cause: adenovirus infection. Many of us will encounter some ...
