New tool can assist with identifying carbohydrate-binding proteins | MIT News

One of the major obstacles that those conducting research on carbohydrates are constantly working to overcome is the limited array of tools available to decipher the role of sugars. As a workaround, most researchers utilize lectins (sugar-binding proteins) isolated from plants or fungi, but they are large, with weak binding, and they are limited in … Read more

Prion of yeasts can help to understand the characteristics of the development of neurodegenerative diseases

Newswise — sometimes human and animal proteins lose their normal folding and form specific filariform aggregates, or fibrils, called amyloids. These structures can activate chain reaction, attaching to themselves new and new molecules with normal form of the same protein, changing its folding for the same as theirs. This enables amyloids to grow, multiply and … Read more
