Human protein kinases constitute a large superfamily of about 500 genes, historically classified into subfamilies based on phylogenetic relationship. However, many kinases remain unclassified.
How the proteins in our bodies bind together to form protein complexes plays a critical role in numerous cell functions—staving off diseases, for instance, or transporting ions across cell membranes.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are essential components of the innate immune system in humans and other organisms, exhibiting potent activity against a broad spectrum of pathogens. Their potential ...
New computer simulations that model every atom of a protein as it folds into its final three-dimensional form support the existence of a recently identified type of protein misfolding. Proteins must ...
