In living organisms, every protein—a type of biological polymer consisting of hundreds of amino acids—carries out specific ...

Protein folding is the process by which proteins achieve ... generate transdifferentiated human neurons from fibroblasts from young or aged individuals and patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions. This folding process occasionally goes awry, resulting in misfolded ...

This kind of tight folding and packing minimizes ... by the most conservative calculation, the human body synthesizes at least 30,000 different kinds of proteins. Furthermore, the number of ...

IDPs comprise approximately 30% of the human proteome and ... strongly with these proteins and modify their dynamics. This ...

Most human proteins are made of small, independently folded units called domains that impart diverse functions to the molecules. Since proteins are large, and therefore challenging to experimentally ...
