Now, Scripps Research scientists have uncovered new structures of transthyretin. Their findings, published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology on January 22, 2025, show how the three-dimension ...
The tiny protein known as transthyretin can cause big problems in the body when it misfolds after secretion. While healthy transthyretin moves hormones through blood and spinal fluid, misfolded ...
A research team led by Paolo Falcaro has developed a microporous crystal compound that signals whether protein-rich foods are spoilt. The ERC grant is now being used to explore practical applications.
Protein folding is the process by which proteins achieve their mature functional (native) tertiary structure, and often begins co-translationally. Protein folding requires chaperones and often ...
