EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated ...

The "Group 7" trend has taken social media by storm this week. Are you in "Group 7?" There's only one way to find out (open TikTok), and there is nothing you can do to change your group. These are the ...

Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in the intravascular compartment. It possesses a single thiol, Cys34, which constitutes ~80% of the total thiols in plasma. This thiol is able to ...

A recent study published in the American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology investigated the effects of thiol drugs on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) allow to control molecular and cellular functions in response to specific signals and changes in the microenvironment of cells. They regulate structure, ...

Bicyclic peptides have spurred some multimillion-dollar deals in recent years, as drug developers begin to exploit the peptides’ power to target and bind proteins. Now, researchers led by Christoph ...

Researchers have found a new type of cross-link between amino acids in a protein (Nature 2021, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-03513-3). The intramolecular linkage is an N-O-S bridge formed by oxidizing the ...

Polymers with covalent cross-links, once formed, cannot generally be reshaped, remolded, or deformed, which is attractive for creating robust materials but these properties can also severely limit ...

Scientists in Hong Kong have developed a cell they say retains more than 90% of its initial efficiency under accelerated testing conditions. The device is based on two-dimensional metal-organic ...
