One is a protein called serine/threonine kinase 33, or STK33 ... Methods such as X-ray crystallography reveal the molecular structures of proteins. By tweaking the structures in simulations, ...

We hypothesized that the syntrophins function as molecular anchors to link dystrophin and utrophin to other cell structures. To understand the organization of the utrophin complex at neuromuscular ...

Summary: Delayed rapid eye movement (REM) sleep may be an early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers found that participants with delayed REM sleep had higher levels of toxic proteins ...

Histone post-translational modifications are covalent modifications of histones by phosphorylation on serine or threonine residues ... to affect chromosome structure and function, for instance ...

Mature TGF-β dimers activate signal transduction through a transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptor complex ... In particular, TGF-βs are essential immunomodulatory molecular switches that play ...

Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a ...

In living organisms, protein molecules with different chemical structures called proteoforms, are produced from a single gene ...

The way the body ages could be more resilient than previously thought, a new study suggests.

Insights into the structures could lead to improved treatment strategies for transthyretin amyloidosis, a progressive, fatal disease in men.

A multi-institutional study has identified one of the allergens responsible for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), an inflammatory disease of the esophagus. This is the first time one of the allergens ...

Eisuke Nishida (Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, Institute for Virus Research, Kyoto University, Japan): "MAP kinases have been described as serine/threonine kinases that are activated ...

The international team describes their results and the underlying molecular mechanism in Cell Metabolism. Ergothioneine is a natural compound found in certain fungi such as oyster or shiitake ...
