Helping researchers identify host proteins used by coronavirus
EMBL scientists working in the groups of Matthias Hentze and Wolfgang Huber have created RBPbase – a database of RNA-binding proteins – to assist the identification of proteins that interact with the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome.…
Exploring the beauty of proteins
Schoolchildren get creative with 3D protein structures…
First results from CSSB
EMBL scientists collaborate to develop new protocol for screening membrane protein stability…
Sex and diet affect proteotype
EMBL scientists have discovered that the proteome is substantially affected by both sex and diet…
Comprehensive protein data for drug development
PDBe-KB - new data resource for protein structure and function launches…
First interactive model of human cell division
Real-time tracking of proteins during mitosis is now possible using a 4D computer model…
Small code change, big effect
Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, have developed a new method which enables researchers to label any protein of their choice with any of a wide variety of previously available compounds, in living cells, by introducing a single reactive…
Sugarcoating fruit fly development
Proteins are the executive agents that carry out all processes in a cell. Their activity is controlled and modified with the help of small chemical tags that can be dynamically added to and removed from the protein. 25 years after its first discovery, researchers at the European Molecular Biology…
Life savers in the gut
Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) have discovered that proteins that regulate the body’s iron household play a vital role in making sure enough nutrients and water are absorbed in the intestine. Mice lacking these proteins suffer from weight loss and…
The closest look ever at native human tissue
Seeing proteins in their natural environment and interactions inside cells has been a longstanding goal. Using an advanced microscopy technique called cryo-electron tomography, researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) have visualised proteins responsible for cell-cell…
