One of biology's fundamental questions is how our genes shape who we are. Adrian Serohijos and Stephen Michnick, professors in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at Université de ...

Proteins and peptides are the primary functional polymers of medical biochemistry, directing virtually all cellular processes through their structural diversity, catalytic activities and signalling ...

The genetic code has given rise to the enormous diversity of proteins we see in nature—and rearranging the order of codons that make up a protein’s sequence leads to an immense variety of structure ...

How did life originate? Ancient proteins may hold important clues. Every organism on Earth is made up of proteins. Although all organisms—even single-celled ones—have complex protein structures now, ...

Research and Markets has opened registration for the live online course, Protein Engineering for Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, organized by IPI Academy and taking place February 2-3, 2027, equipping ...

A pink ribosome surrounds part of a red-and-yellow helix-shaped strand of messenger RNA while a yellow protein branch extends from the ribosome. A graphic representation of a ribosome (pink) ...

Researchers had not yet identified ways in which they might affect biochemistry far from their physical structures. Now, in a new study published September 10 in the journal Cell, researchers from ...

Biochemistry is the study of the structure and function of biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids. Biochemistry is also used to describe techniques suited to ...

Saint Louis University’s Protein Core is a shared-use core facility that supports expression, purification and analysis of reagent and preclinical proteins. The core provides instrumentation and ...

As major fields of university chemistry, we have introduced physical chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and ...

A protein whose failure lies at the heart of a devastating childhood neurodegenerative disorder has turned out to be a long-sought enzyme in one of the cell’s most obscure lipid-making pathways. In t ...

Amyloids are perhaps best known as a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease. The amorphous proteins, found throughout the human body, stick to nerve cells like plaque, choking off their function and ...
