A protein engineering method using simple, cost-effective experiments and machine learning models can predict which proteins will be effective for a given purpose, according to a new study. A protein ...

Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) systems are a powerful platform with immense potential in fundamental research, biotechnology, and synthetic biology. Conventional prokaryotic CFPS systems, ...

A series of structures of the eukaryotic protein-synthesis machinery are imaged at high resolution in defined states of the elongation phase of protein synthesis. Analysis suggests that there are ...

When a bone grows, our bodies’ proteins help provide the structure. When a muscle tears, proteins help rebuild it. When we fight an infection, transport oxygen in our blood or send messages to a cell, ...
