Chemical changes to histones, the proteins that help to pack and organize DNA inside cells, play a key role in determining what genes will be consistently activated over the course of an animal or ...

The focus of vertebrate studies has mainly been on canonical phosphorylation, but research indicates that phosphorylation of other non-canonical amino acids also regulates integral aspects of cell ...

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a key role in dynamic cellular processes, regulating gene expression, protein activity, localization, and degradation, as well as protein interaction.

One of the main goals of proteomics is to unravel the many modifications important for biological activity. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) extend the range of protein function by attaching it ...

This listicle covers the fundamentals and latest innovations in western blotting, including automated workflows, single-cell ...

Inside every human cell, proteins are constantly being tagged with small chemical modifications after they're produced. Known as post-translational modifications, or PTMs, these can change how a ...

Respiratory infections, pink eye, or an upset stomach may seem like unrelated, mild inconveniences, but all of these ailments share one root cause: adenovirus infection. Many of us will encounter some ...

New research reveals that subtle chemical changes to proteins after synthesis play a critical role in determining ...

Brain metabolism underpins nearly every aspect of neuronal function, from synaptic transmission and plasticity to cell survival and repair. The brain is one ...

Protein modifications matter: Scripps Research showed post-translational modifications can dictate whether proteins bind to drugs, potentially guiding more selective therapy design. Hidden ...
