The laminin-411 protein is vital for the formation of the myelin membrane by oligodendrocytes, report researchers from Japan.

Large-scale redesigns, including changes to core domains, may retain stability—challenging assumptions that such regions are off-limits.

Proteins are life's molecular workhorses, doing everything from turning sunlight into food to fighting viruses. They are ...

Scientists in Denmark got bacteria to do something surprising—they made milk proteins, without any cows or milk.

SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) protein complexes are ring-shaped molecular motors essential for genome folding. Despite recent progress, the detailed molecu ...
