MiROM identifies proteins by using mid-infrared light to detect molecular vibrations – essentially the natural "dance" of molecules within protein structures. Unlike optical spectroscopy, which ...

Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich have developed a novel method to track cancer ...

For decades, the story of Alzheimer's research has been dominated by a battle between A-beta and tau amyloids, both of which ...

Proteins are essential to biology, and they have to assume the correct three-dimensional structure in order to work properly... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

For decades, the story of Alzheimer’s research has been dominated by a battle between amyloid-beta and tau amyloids, both of which can kill neurons and impact the brain’s abil ...

In this work, the researchers showed how water molecules near a protein surface can influence misfolding. A mutation that is related to tauopathies has a subtle effect on water's dynamic structure in ...

Alzheimer’s may be driven by more than just plaques—scientists have discovered 200+ hidden proteins that could be quietly harming the brain.

A surprising new study has uncovered over 200 misfolded proteins in the brains of aging rats with cognitive decline, beyond the infamous amyloid and tau plaques long blamed for Alzheimer’s. These ...

A master of protein origami Johns Hopkins chemist Stephen Fried has spent decades investigating how protein cells fold, unfold, and misfold, a cause of many neurodegenerative diseases and our ...
