FGF basic is a member of the FGF family, which includes at least 23 related mitogenic proteins sharing 35–60% amino acid conservation. Unlike most other FGFs, FGF acidic and FGF basic lack signal ...

Plant lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) constitute a diverse family of small, basic proteins integral to plant survival and adaptation. Predominantly found across terrestrial species, nsLTPs facilitate ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life, involved in virtually every biological process. Understanding how proteins interact with each other is crucial for deciphering the complexities of cellular ...

Most of the activities that go on inside cells—the activities that keep us living, breathing, thinking animals—are handled by proteins. They allow cells to communicate with each other, run a cell's ...

Predicting which proteins bind to each other, or protein-protein interactions, has been a challenge for methods based in computational biology. One of the reasons is primarily due to the vast ...

More than a decade ago at UT Southwestern, scientist Steven McKnight chased a compound that turns stem cells into beating heart muscle. That hunt led him — and Dirk Görlich of the Max Planck Institute ...
