Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a new study challenges that notion, revealing an unexpected confirmation in ...

The management of Leishmania donova ni (LD), responsible for fatal visceral leishmaniasis (VL), faces increasing challenges due to rising drug-unresponsiveness, leading to increasing treatment ...

In a new study, researchers have determined that a protein called NF-kB c-Rel can intensify the symptoms of psoriasis when activated by signals from the body's immune system. Understanding how 'c-Rel' ...

The work provides a detailed three-dimensional picture of the virus's polymerase and its key features. Understanding the structure and behavior of this critical piece of the viral machinery ...

Researchers profile the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells show how changes in the viral polymerase — a protein involved in viral ...

Hepatitis C can be transmitted when blood that carries the virus comes into contact with the blood of someone who does not have the virus. This can occur if people share needles or personal care ...

This represents people living with positive hepatitis C virus antibody status, including those with chronic hepatitis C, those who spontaneously resolved the infection, and those with ...

Another important discovery was an intricate RNA structure near the critical ... efficiently throughout infection, the virus suppresses the protein production of the host, particularly at the ...

There are 210 thousand experimentally determined protein structures but 250 million known protein sequences. Initiatives like the EarthBioGenome project could generate billions more protein sequences ...

A groundbreaking study combines protein structure with genetic data to trace ancient evolutionary paths, offering a more reliable method to understand the lineage of life. This method could ...
