A new random heteropolymer with mixed hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups coats proteins to help them remain folded and active in environments that would normally unfold and inactivate them (Science ...

A new method allows chemists to precisely place single monomers at any position within a polymer chain made of other types of monomers. With this single monomer, chemists can add various types of ...

Active alpha-synuclein protein monomers and aggregates allow Lewy body pathology to be easily induced in neurons. They are suitable for both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Lewy bodies – the ...

The S100 family is a set of dimeric, calcium-binding proteins which have been seen to be over expressed in several types of cancer. S100 proteins attach to the Cterminal region (293-393) of p53, the ...

A new study shows that the protein CHIP can regulate the insulin receptor more efficiently alone than in a paired state. In cellular stress situations, CHIP usually appears as a homodimer - an ...
