Mass production of recombinant proteins using yeast cell "factories" needs methanol, a compound that requires safe handling, carries the risk of catching fire, and sometimes produces harmful ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

Pichia pastoris has emerged as a leading eukaryotic host for recombinant protein production, owing to its ability to perform complex post-translational modifications and grow to high cell densities ...

Researchers have discovered that the protein hnRNPM prevents the cell from making mistakes while it is producing new proteins, which helps maintain the integrity of this vital process. Researchers at ...

When we think about the blueprint of life, we tend to focus on DNA—the genetic code stored in every cell of our bodies. But DNA is only part of the story. For those instructions to matter, they must ...

It's known as biology's central dogma: All living organisms' genetic information is stored in DNA, which is transcribed into RNA, which is translated into proteins that perform nearly all essential ...

The host cell system is a critical determinant of recombinant protein quality and yield, with direct influence on protein folding and post-translational modification factors that shape the ...

Scientists have identified a critical breakdown in the cellular machinery that produces proteins in aging brains.

The world's first commercial-scale factory for making nutrient-rich and versatile protein from air and sustainable energy has opened its doors in Finland, and the startup behind it aims to have its ...

Chinese scientists create modified fungus that tastes like meat, produces protein quickly, and uses 70 percent less land.
