Protein changes matter: Scripps Research showed that post-translational modifications can make proteins more or less responsive to drug-like molecules, affecting treatment success. Genetics meets ...
Protein modifications matter: Scripps Research showed post-translational modifications can dictate whether proteins bind to drugs, potentially guiding more selective therapy design. Hidden ...
New research reveals that subtle chemical changes to proteins after synthesis play a critical role in determining ...
Inside every human cell, proteins are constantly being tagged with small chemical modifications after they're produced. Known as post-translational modifications, or PTMs, these can change how a ...

Lactylation, a recently identified post-translational modification, has emerged as important for immune regulation, tissue repair, cancer cell metabolism, and now, potentially, Alzheimer’s disease. In ...
There is no known cure for Huntington's disease. A genetic mutation creates harmful proteins that accumulate and cause the disease's typical symptoms. A team from the Department of Human Genetics at ...
