"If we can unravel the mechanisms at play here, we might be able to block this protein and stop ticks from spreading the bacteria to people..."

The same protein that signifies Alzheimer's disease is also a driver of the life-threatening pregnancy condition of preeclampsia.

A single protein can self-assemble to build the scaffold for a biomolecular condensate that makes up a key nucleolar compartment.

Many of the amino acids that make up proteins are encoded by genetic material in more than one way. An information theorist explains how principles of nature may account for this variance.

The device detects the same molecules that cell receptors do, and may enable routine early screening for cancers and other diseases.

A new approach opens the door to a greater understanding of protein-microbe interactions.

Whitehead Institute researchers find many transcription factors bind RNA, which fine-tunes their regulation of gene expression, suggesting new therapeutic opportunities.

A new technology called RIBOmap can give researchers valuable insight into how protein production in animal and human tissue is altered in disease.

MIT researchers develop "FrameDiff," a computational tool that uses generative AI to craft new protein structures, with the aim of accelerating drug development and improving gene therapy.

The disorganized arrangement of the proteins in light-harvesting complexes is the key to their extreme efficiency.
