Numerous BYU students, including Mikaila Sass (pictured), worked with Dr. Willardson in his lab on this discovery. The human body heavily relies on protein molecules for proper functioning. Protein ...

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) affect ...

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) and molecular chaperones are integral to the maintenance of cellular proteostasis, ensuring that proteins attain and retain their correct conformation even under adverse ...

While we often think of diseases as caused by foreign bodies -- bacteria or viruses -- there are hundreds of diseases affecting humans that result from errors in cellular production of its proteins. A ...

For those outside the chemistry cognoscenti, the announcement might have seemed little more than researchers patting each other on the back. But the question of protein folding had plagued scientists ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism steering the evolution of multicellular life. They identified how altered protein folding drives multicellular evolution. Researchers have discovered a ...

An international team led by Einstein Professor Cecilia Clementi in the Department of Physics at Freie Universität Berlin has introduced CGSchNet, a machine-learned coarse-grained (CG) model that can ...

There are hundreds of diseases affecting humans that result from errors in cellular production of its proteins. A team led by researchers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, report they ...

The first full-length structures of two heat shock chaperone proteins in a complex reveal the key structural region regulating their function, according to a new study from St. Jude Children's ...

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC used imaging techniques to study how the protein GRP78 controls cancer cell behavior. In the top row, human lung cancer cells were engineered to ...

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic and IBM recently published findings in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation that could lay the groundwork for applying quantum computing methods to protein ...
