SYDNEY, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- Australian researchers have visualized a key protein complex in the malaria parasite, revealing a new vaccine target to block disease transmission.

Cryo-electron microscopy studies samples frozen at very low temperatures, with the protein molecular motions immobilized. Proteins normally move and change shape as they go about their normal ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique used to determine the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules, such as proteins and viruses, at near-atomic resolution.

Study reveals that extremely simple peptides can mimic a biological process that protects sensitive proteins from ...

There, if the protein is destined to be recycled, it must lose its functional tag; if it is to be destroyed, at least some of the tag must be left intact. Researchers had long suspected that DUBs ...
