Genetic diseases that result from truncated proteins can be targeted by so-called nonsense suppression therapies—drugs that prevent protein translation from terminating prematurely. A new ...

A team of scientists has identified an enzyme called PurF as a new drug target for tuberculosis, offering a fresh line of ...

(SALT LAKE CITY)–University of Utah biochemists have reported an advance in the production of functional mirror-image proteins. According to a groundbreaking study published in this week's online ...

The new reaction enables selective modification of anti-cancer drugs, rapid synthesis of medicinal compounds, and production of recyclable polymers, enhancing drug and materials science.

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

Inside our cells, ribosomes—the tireless "protein factories" of life—have just shown off a new skill they haven't used in billions of years. A research team has become the first in the world to ...

Scientists developed a new mRNA platform that keeps vaccines and therapies effective in older adults and patients with obesity, where current treatments often lose potency.
