“I’m afraid we have focused too much on protein secondary structures that appear to be important in biology, but have ignored low-complexity domains,” Van Den Bosch told Alzforum. Those low-complexity ...

Could the protein aggregates that cause neurodegeneration turn out to be the cellular equivalent of ice cubes? Scientists investigating how proteins naturally transition between gas-like solutions, ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Proteins are solids. When heated they do not melt; instead, they decompose or sublime directly to the gas phase at low pressures. They cannot be converted into a liquid form unless ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Droplets of proteins, tied to an increasing number of cellular processes and human diseases, are known for their liquid-like ability to flow, exchange material and dissolve as needed.

Experts say protein water may be convenient and low-calorie, but it’s not a magic solution for fitness or weight loss — and ...

Scientists have revealed how bacteria make tiny liquid droplets from proteins to help them survive harsh environments and thus reduce their chances of being killed by antibiotics. Scientists have ...

Eggs are a versatile, protein-rich food and a staple of the classic American breakfast. Whether scrambled or hard-boiled these nutrient powerhouses offer impressive benefits. But sometimes, cracking ...

Scientists have discovered the first evidence of protein folding driven by liquid-liquid phase separation, a phenomenon in which fluids form into microscopic droplets and separate inside cells -- like ...
