UT researchers have developed the first viable alternative to a 75-year-old method for sequencing proteins. Image of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Scientists at The University of Texas ...

Our food and our bodies are full of tiny protein fragments called peptides. These small chains of amino acids act as biological messengers, influencing processes ranging from sensory perception to ...

Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest questions. Consisting of amino acids strung together into peptide chains, these ...

The sequencing of the human genome has been a scientific landmark achievement, and it has had major implications for our understanding of human health 1. However, excluding contributing factors from ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

Histone modifications can regulate transcription epigenetically by marking specific genomic loci, which can be mapped using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq). Here we present ...
