Protein AMPylation represents a specialised post‐translational modification (PTM) in which an adenosine monophosphate (AMP) moiety is covalently attached to specific amino acid residues on target ...

The amino acid side chains of proteins undergo various post-translational modifications (PTMs) which significantly impact protein function and mediate complex cellular events. Measuring the dynamics, ...

At the University of Oxford, scientists have developed a nanopore technology that can identify three different post-translational modifications (PTMs) in individual proteins, even deep within long ...

Tuberculosis is a serious health threat, and the efficacy of the BCG vaccine against tuberculosis diminishes in adulthood, making booster vaccines a realistic option. Mycobacterial DNA-binding protein ...

The focus of vertebrate studies has mainly been on canonical phosphorylation, but research indicates that phosphorylation of other non-canonical amino acids also regulates integral aspects of cell ...

Lactylation, a recently identified post-translational modification, has emerged as important for immune regulation, tissue repair, cancer cell metabolism, and now, potentially, Alzheimer’s disease. In ...

Respiratory infections, pink eye, or an upset stomach may seem like unrelated, mild inconveniences, but all of these ailments share one root cause: adenovirus infection. Many of us will encounter some ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called DeepMVP and ...
