Known as protein folding, it is one of the most complex processes in nature and, when folding goes awry, it often leads to disease. Popa's lab investigates forces affecting protein folding, which can ...

Protein hydrophobicity is a fundamental driver of protein folding dynamics, underpinning the formation of a central hydrophobic core that stabilises the three-dimensional structure amid an aqueous ...

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, ...

Membrane proteins play a pivotal role in various cellular functions and are key targets for pharmaceutical interventions. In fact, approximately 60% of drugs currently available on the market target ...

Talin is a protein that controls cellular attachment and movement, but its malfunctioning also allows cancer cells to spread. DCL1 is a tumor-suppressing protein. But scientists don't fully understand ...
