It's the first time the particular structure, called a supra-helix, has been seen in natural proteins. The study was published in the Journal of Molecular Biology and funded by Cancer Research UK. The ...

For decades, scientists have known that motor proteins like kinesin-2 ferry vital cargo along microtubule "highways" inside ...

In a promising advance in the war against AIDS, scientists have designed a potent, new protein that can prevent HIV infection by blocking its entry into human cells. The protein, called 5-Helix and ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown “hook-like” domain in the tail of the kinesin-2 motor protein that explains how these molecular machines select the right cargo inside cells.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 100, No. 11 (May 27, 2003), pp. 6517-6522 (6 pages) The biological effects of estrogens are mediated by the ...

In a recent study published in the journal Viruses, researchers constructed a novel fusion inhibitor−based recombinant protein, referred to as 5−Helix, to block severe acute respiratory syndrome ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Fifty years after Watson and Crick described the structure of double helix DNA, Cornell University biophysicists are discovering the roles of DNA-binding proteins in much the same way ...
