Protein engineering and self-assembly techniques have transformed our capacity to design and manipulate protein structures for diverse applications. Through a combination of rational design and ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

When constructing a house, a bricklayer has to take each brick and cement it in place. But in many biological processes, the ‘bricks’ arrange themselves into structures spontaneously. Due to their ...

The stability of ribonucleoprotein complexes of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid proteins differs among variants of concern and the viral evolution of nucleocapsid protein can be understood in the framework of ...
