Researchers announce the creation of the first systematic interactome, a map of all the interactions that occur between proteins in a plant species. The mustard plant Arabidopsis thaliana – commonly used in research – was selected for this research. The plant contains more than 27,000 proteins, and resear... |

A group of investigators in the United States recently managed to demonstrate that it is possible to use a computational approach to design working proteins capable of fighting viruses. This was never shown to be possible before, experts in the team say.
The newly-developed antiviral protein cannot be found in na... |

All the important cellular processes can only take place following interactions amidst proteins, experts know, and so the nature of those interactions is something that we simply must know. A group of scientists has now produced a new method of investigating these connections.Protein interactions take place only at t... |

The roots of behavior may be deeply entrenched inside every person's genetic code, but researchers say that analyzing the human mind, and its relations to the gene pool, is a lot more difficult than it looks. Social sciences experts have some time ago began collaborating with geneticists on a series of studies m... |

Though relatively unknown, wettability is one of the most important properties that researchers need to assess in a variety of chemical and physical processes. This is the property that solid materials have, which dictate how water and other liquids will behave on them. Some may retain water, while others may force t... |

Over the past few years, nanomaterials have made it into the “mainstream,” in that they are becoming more and more the natural choice when it comes to constructing devices for a wide range of applications, from better electronics to medical implants. As such, experts are now calling for an assessment of h... |

“Mirror” neurons are a special type of brain cells, which experts believe help people understand the actions and intentions of those they come in contact with. Their contribution to the development of personalities is, therefore, considerable, but a new research proves that they are not working alone in t... |
