Researchers developed a new computational method called AGGRESCAN3D to study protein aggregation in 3D. The algorithm surpasses limitations of previous methods and offers improved precision in predicting protein aggregation properties.
Researchers have developed a method to predict membrane protein folding using energy landscape theory, increasing the technique's value to disease and drug research. The study successfully determined that thermodynamic funnels hold the upper hand in folding proteins inside a membrane, similar to globular proteins.
Scientists develop a new statistical mechanics model to explain protein folding and unfolding in an aqueous environment. The study confirms the validity of their calculations using experimental measurements for two proteins, providing insights into high-energy ions therapy on biological cells.
UAB researchers discover that genetic mutations cause proteins to separate, leading to malfunctions and toxic aggregates. This finding could explain the onset of various genetic diseases, including conformational disorders.
Scientists from Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona have developed a method to identify precise zones of proteins that cause aggregation, leading to potential therapeutic targets for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and type 2 diabetes. The new approach may enable the design of more effective drugs by shielding or stabilizing these critical reg...
Chemists at Washington University in St. Louis have created knedel nanoparticles that mimic viruses and show potential for a new direction in gene therapy and other biomedical applications. The nanoparticles can escape detection by the immune system and are designed to behave like viruses, but without the risk of live virus effects.
