The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for effective therapeutic agents against SARS-CoV-2. Although vaccines helped control the spread of the virus, the emergence of new variants continues ...

Small-molecule inhibitors targeting viral proteins could serve as an effective alternative for controlling the spread of COVID-19 at both individual and community levels. In this vein, a recent study ...

WEHI researchers have solved a decades-long mystery by determining the structure of human PINK1, a key protein linked to ...

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for effective therapeutic agents against SARS-CoV-2. Although vaccines ...

"This is the first time we've seen human PINK1 docked to the surface of damaged mitochondria and it has uncovered a remarkable array of proteins that act as the docking site," says ... Yet by ...

A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that regulates the production of two different proteins from the same gene.

Redox reactions form the basis of many fundamental processes of life. Without them, neither cellular respiration nor ...

Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions. This folding process occasionally goes awry, resulting in misfolded proteins ...

Researchers have revealed for the first time how a key protein linked to Parkinson's mutates, leads to cell death in the ...

The discovery sheds light on how certain bacteria -- including strains that cause food poisoning and anthrax -- form spores for survival.

A research team has uncovered new insights into the molecular mechanisms of ADAR1, a protein that regulates ribonucleic acid (RNA) induced immune responses. Their findings could open new pathways for ...

Docking is the process where two spacecraft physically connect in space for purposes like crew transfer, cargo resupply, or spacecraft assembly. The separation of two spacecraft that were ...
