Cells may experience various conditions of stress, such as heat stress during a fever. Such conditions can damage proteins - the molecules responsible for almost every process of life. The ability of ...

Proteins, also called polypeptides, are the polymers of amino acids. There are a total of twenty amino acids called monomers that exist naturally in proteins. Proteins are found in abundance and are ...

Applying math and computers to the drug discovery process, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a method to predict protein separation behavior directly from protein ...

Scientists have discovered the first evidence of protein folding driven by liquid-liquid phase separation, a phenomenon in which fluids form into microscopic droplets and separate inside cells -- like ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation can occur when drops or layers of one liquid, like oil, form alongside another liquid, like water. It has been widely observed within cells, where proteins can condense ...

DCVC and Voyager co-lead with support from In-Q-Tel and Orion to commercialize Alta’s advanced biochemistry platform for mineral separation The new capital will accelerate development and ...

Oxidation of the sulfur atom in methionine is an important biomolecular reaction that can have a wide range of biological consequences depending on the context and the protein involved. Chemists have ...

Mass spectrometry has come into its own as an extremely powerful tool for the study of whole proteomes. So why are not more cell biologists embracing it with open arms? The human body has some 20,500 ...

HOUSTON - (Oct. 28, 2019) - With a lot of hard work and a dash of salt, Rice University scientists have taken a step toward simplifying drug manufacture. Rice chemist Christy Landes and her colleagues ...

Fred E. Regnier, 74, the John H. Law Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Purdue University, may have been fated to become a chromatographer. Even as a child on his family’s farm, he was interested ...
