In experiments with bacterial proteins, the researchers were able to clarify the role of two helper proteins—an insertase and atranslocase—that enable the membrane proteins to embed themselves in the membrane. Insertase is a single protein, while translocase is a complex composed of multiple protei...
Ever heard eating protein makes you feel more full faster, but why is that? Read on to find out how protein gives that fullness feeling.
In several instances, they found that the DNA sequence of a gene and the structure of the protein it encodes could be nearly identical between species but have very different expression patterns. "This really shocked us, because it goes against all the intuition we had about development and bio...
As we age, getting enough protein becomes more important. That's because we lose muscle naturally, starting in our 30s and speeding up each decade after that. This loss of muscle and strength is called sarcopenia. Eventually, this can increase your risk of frailty, falls, and broken bones a...
Protein.You needthe nutrient proteinin your diet for healthy growth, healing, and other needs. Protein is made of amino acids. Your body can make some proteins on its own with certain amino acids. The rest of the amino acids need to come from the foods you eat. These are called essentia...
Protein is a vital macromolecule found in all living cells and accounts for an average of fifty-five percent of a cell’s dry weight. This percentage makes protein an essential part of all organisms. There are around 3,000,000 protein molecules per cell, and each molecule is made up of ...
there are an estimated 64.6 million cases of permanent dentition and an additional 62.9 million cases of primary dentition1.Streptococcus mutans, one of the major causative bacteria of dental caries that expresses collagen-binding protein, can effectively invade human umbilical vein endothelial cells2, ...
For starters, it helps to realize that protein is a part of every single cell in the human body. The nutrient plays a role in building cells and tissues, according to theU.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It's also important for cellular repair and many different body processes, li...

A team of scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has now discovered that a protein called Scribble, originally discovered as a cell-shape regulator in fruit flies and worms, is an important regulator of breast cancer. They report that normal function of Scribble protein allows breast...
