Professor Christian Heinis explains how peptides could offer the next generation of therapeutics and what is required to screen libraries of cyclic peptides.
New findings from collaborative research in the United States have identified a promising new treatment avenue for type 2 diabetes patients centring on the activity of the amino acid, GABA.
A team has characterised a key part of the peptide synthesis process, showing that only the main building block needs to be changed for re-engineering.
Researchers have developed a new technique called mim-tRNAseq to measure, map and analyse tRNAs in cells, providing insight into disease.
Researchers have synthesised peptides that function like a soluble chemokine receptor, blocking atherosclerosis in animal models.
Scientist identified the mechanism through which temporal lobe epileptic seizures are sparked and that D-serine can interfere with this process, preventing seizures.
Researchers reveal the main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 is highly sensitive to disruption, therefore Mpro inhibitors could be a potential COVID-19 therapeutic.
The novel protocol allows proteins over 100 amino acids long to be synthesised in hours and include amino acids that do not occur in the human proteome.
Post-infection genome editing could be the cause of mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, driving its evolution.
Researchers have demonstrated that cysteinase, a new drug compound, can starve pancreatic cells of cysteine supply, causing ferroptosis.
Scientists have created an artificial protein able to recognise and bind cell surface carbohydrates with high affinity and selectivity.
Researchers have shown that, when treated with L-serine, a non-human primate model of ALS had fewer pathologies associated with the disease.
A new platform has the potential to better understand what dictates the invasive behaviour of brain tumours.
A new medical imaging tracing method has been discovered by scientists which can better track drugs in the body.
An anti-inflammatory bacterial protein discovered in zebrafish could lead to the discovery of anti-inflammatory proteins within humans...
