Proteins do not need to be surrounded by water to carry out their vital biological functions, according to new research. Scientists used a state of the art neutron scattering technique to demonstrate ...

Diving mammals have an oxygen-storing protein in their muscles that allows them to survive underwater for long periods of time. Reuters Diving mammals, like sperm whale, have a special protein in ...

Some 50 years ago, after decades of effort, John Kendrew determined the structure of the small globular protein, myoglobin, which is responsible for oxygen storage in cells. For this discovery, he ...

Myoglobin—the first protein for which a 3D structure was determined by x-ray crystallography—still has some tricks up its sleeve, or in its pocket. This is the pocket into which myoglobin’s ...

In vitro tissue engineering is emerging as a key strategy for the replacement of damaged or diseased tissue 1. A typical approach is to immobilize stem cells on a porous scaffold, and induce ...
