The high-protein food and drink trend is booming. Once the domain of bodybuilders and gym-goers, protein-packed products have now hit the mainstream. The movement shows no signs of slowing. Today, ...

Thousands of previously “invisible” microproteins—tiny chains of fewer than 100 amino acids—can profoundly change human biology when mutated. A fundamental discovery is overturning decades of ...

Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the fundamental building blocks of proteins. They play a crucial role in the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. Amino ...

The proteins found in nature represent only a tiny fraction of the nearly limitless protein structures that could theoretically exist. By designing proteins de novo—from scratch—scientists can more ...

Researchers have discovered that mutations affect protein stability following remarkably simple rules. The discovery has profound implications for accelerating the development of new treatments for ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

Life’s most indispensable molecules are not the serene, unchanging fixtures they might appear to be. Even the proteins that ...
