New research published in Nature Communications has linked a normal cellular process to an accumulation of DNA mutations in ...

Investigating how proteins interact is key to understanding how cells work and communicate. In a new study published in ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called DeepMVP and ...

A protein’s amino acid sequence helps determine its structure. Thus, proteins with similar sequences would be expected to have similar structures. But sometimes seemingly minor sequence changes can ...

Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center identified a new role for heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) in cancer predisposition and treatment resistance.

In a recent study published in PLOS Pathogens, researchers investigated a highly variable region at residues 203 to 205 in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleocapsid ...

A new study found that a single mutation to the hemagglutinin protein of an H5N1 virus isolated from a dairy worker in Texas this spring switched the protein’s binding specificity from avian- to human ...

Researchers at the University of Texas, USA, have confirmed the specific mutation in the B.1.1.7 variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of ...
