Cell behaviour is regulated by myriad external stimuli that act through specialized receptor proteins at the cell surface. G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of receptors and ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- After seven years of work, researchers have succeeded in deducing the three-dimensional structure of an elusive and complex protein enzyme that is central to regulating the body's ...

DHHC enzymes modify nearly 1,000 human proteins, including EGFRs, a family of receptors that are implicated in a range of cancers. These enzymes, also known as palmitoyltransferases, modify proteins ...

Even as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to smolder and flare up in various parts of the world, researchers are still trying to make sense of the virus, its routes of spread, its target tissues, and ...

Illinois professor Uwe Rudolph, left, and research scientist Maltesh Kambali led an international group of researchers who found a key role for an enzyme regulating glycine in the brain while ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego have identified a new signaling process involving G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a cellular target already exploited by hundreds of diverse ...
