New nanoparticles could revolutionize therapeutic drug discovery
A revolutionary new protein stabilisation technique has been developed by scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) which could lead to 30 per cent more proteins being available as potential targets for drug development - opening up exciting possibilities in drug discovery. view more (2009-06-26)
Proteins in urine predict brain damage in laboratory animals
The study dealt with the development and prevention of strokes in particular rats which had spontaneously developed extremely high blood pressure. Such a high blood pressure level leads within a few weeks to damage to the kidneys, heart and brain such that the rats die. The researchers found that brain damage in these rats is always preceded by... view more... (1999-06-21)
Structural mechanism of the E. coli drug efflux pump AcrB
In a new study published online in the open access journal PLoS Biology, Gaby Sennhauser, Marcus Gruetter, and colleagues use structural biology techniques to probe the molecular mechanisms of the major drug efflux pump in E. coli AcrB. view more (2006-12-27)
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols highlights reliable methods for gene and protein analyses
In their native form, the thousands of assorted proteins in our body are virtually indistinguishable. Scientists who want to examine the properties and functions of specific proteins, as well as the activities of individual genes, must rely on chemical tags to manipulate and visualize them. view more (2007-04-05)
Our brains make their own marijuana: We're all pot heads deep inside
U.S. and Brazilian scientists have just proven that one of Bob Dylan's most famous lines--"everybody must get stoned"-- is correct. view more (2009-04-21)
Comprehensive model is first to map protein folding at atomic level
Scientists at Harvard University have developed a computer model that, for the first time, can fully map and predict how small proteins fold into three-dimensional, biologically active shapes. view more (2006-11-07)
Scientists deliver the next generation of hair care products
Proteins perform a number of vital functions in the body at a biochemical level; one of which is to carry and deliver essential molecules to specific areas. On reaching their destination, they deliver their cargo by attaching to the target. view more (1999-07-13)
Proteomics: Finding the key ingredients of disease
The winner of the chilli cook-off, usually has a key secret ingredient, which is hard to identify. Similarly, many diseases have crucial proteins, which change the dynamics of cells from benign to deadly. view more (2009-05-20)
Cellular antacids give vaccines a boost
Scientists in Italy have found that a drug that blocks acid buildup inside cells revs up the immune response to vaccines. view more (2005-09-12)
Scientists on track for early diagnosis of neurological diseases
Possible treatments for fatal neurodegenerative diseases such as CJD, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's could result from University of Edinburgh research to find out how specific proteins cause deterioration in brain function. The scientists have discovered for the first time that protein 14-3-3 plays a key role in the development of certain brain... view more... (2003-07-01)
Immune responses spread from one protein to another in type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by the immune system inappropriately attacking the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar levels. view more (2006-12-04)
200 proteins which detect diseases of the liver
The biochemist Enrique Santamaría Martínez, a researcher in the area of Genetic Therapy and Hepatology at the CIMA of the University of Navarra, has identified more than 200 proteins which can be considered as indicators of the progression of steatohepatitis and liver hepatitis. view more (2005-12-14)
Gene Function Breakthrough
A breakthrough in understanding the functions of human genes has been reported by scientists working at the Wellcome Trust Biocentre at the University of Dundee. view more (2002-01-08)
Animal study suggests inadequate sleep may exacerbate cellular aging in the elderly
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have shown that the unfolded protein response, which is a reaction to stress induced by sleep deprivation, is impaired in the brains of old mice. view more (2008-06-30)
Evolutionary scrap-heap challenge: Antifreeze fish make sense out of junk DNA
Scientists at the University of Illinois have discovered an antifreeze-protein gene in cod that has evolved from non-coding or 'junk' DNA. view more (2006-04-04)
Dysfunctional protein dynamics behind neurological disease?
Researchers at Lund University, Sweden, have taken a snapshot of proteins changing shape, sticking together and creating structures that are believed to trigger deadly processes in the nervous system. view more (2009-10-14)
Role of protein in immune response may aid HIV research
A family of proteins that serve as the body's first line of defense against bacterial infections may provide a lifeline for individuals with compromised immune systems, according to researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine - Northwest. view more (2006-07-31)
Worms hold clue to link between cancer and ageing in humans
A type of protein linked to cancer prevention in humans may also play a role in ageing, according to findings published in the journal Science tomorrow. view more (2006-06-02)
`Seek and destroy` vaccines for meningitis outdated
The ability of meningococci bacteria to change their cell surface proteins could reduce the effectiveness of the current meningitis C vaccine. Now scientists are working on vaccines that would allow us to co-exist happily with these microbes, according to research presented today (Monday 08 April 2002) at the spring meeting of the Society for... view more...

When Proteins Change Partners
Dieter Wolf, M.D., and colleagues at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have illuminated how competition between proteins enhances combinatorial diversity during ubiquitination (the process that marks proteins for destruction). view more (2009-09-14)
