Proteins often function in pairs or groups, concealing their internal connection points and making it difficult for scientists to study their individual units without altering their natural structure.

Patients with some cancers, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic disorders often endure time-consuming intravenous (IV) infusions to receive the best protein-based treatments available. Because these ...

New research has revealed the potential of engineered proteins to more precisely deliver drugs within the body. New research led by the University of Sydney has revealed the potential of engineered ...

Designing drugs is a bit like playing with Polly Pocket. The vintage toy is a plastic clam shell that contains a multi-bedroom house, a skating rink, a disco dance floor, and other fun scenarios. Kids ...

Thousands of proteins are known to cause disease, but while the biological activity of these proteins is understood, the way to hit and modulate them with a drug is not. Nature still has ways to bind ...

Patients with cancer, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic disorders often endure hours-long intravenous infusions. These treatments involve protein-based drugs, which must be given in high doses but ...

“Proteins float around in the cell and constantly bump into each other. How can you design rates at which biology happens fast?” Adam Broerman, a graduate student at the University of Washington (UW), ...
