Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

UT researchers have developed the first viable alternative to a 75-year-old method for sequencing proteins. Image of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Scientists at The University of Texas ...

Nanopores are tiny, nanometer-scale apertures that are synthetically produced in manufactured materials as well as biological membranes. They allow ions or molecules to pass through and have been ...

Proteins are the workhorses of cells and provide vital insights to cell health and disease function. Immunoassays and mass spectrometry are well established methods for studying proteins and have led ...

Whether you’re interested in why a living system works as it does or the reasons it goes awry, proteins are a critical part of the molecular picture. The proteins circulating in a person’s plasma can ...

Misfolded proteins can appear as small aggregates, soluble monomers, or large insoluble inclusion bodies. While the fundamental biophysical mechanisms that cause cytotoxicity are not fully understood, ...

Proteomics—a term first coined in the mid-1990s—refers to the study of the complete set of proteins expressed in a cell, tissue, or organism. In contrast to genomics and transcriptomics, proteomics is ...
