Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint, the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

In biophysics, the kinetic states of molecules play a determining role in the metabolic and physiological processes in which they take part. Now, a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the ...

A team of US researchers has gained new insights into how large protein molecules consistently fold themselves into useful ...

In 1961 the structure of one protein, myoglobin, was known at 6 Å resolution and its 2 Å structure would soon be published. The structural determinations of hemoglobin and hen lysozyme were well under ...
