Researchers reveal the fundamental role that mRNA’s tail, the 3′UTR, plays in the folding of complex regulatory proteins. Proteins are how cells get work done. They carry out nearly every important ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

"Non-covalent lasso entanglement is a class of misfolding we recently identified where a loop of the protein traps another segment of the protein, essentially intertwining itself incorrectly," O'Brien ...
