Kinea Bio Inc., a biotechnology company developing genetic medicines for severe neuromuscular disease, today highlighted the publication in Science Translational Medicine of preclinical data ...

Researchers have engineered extracellular vesicles without viral envelope proteins using pH-sensitive split inteins, ...

It's the ugly duckling story of the molecular world. Intein, thought two decades ago to be nothing more than a molecular parasite or a harmless hitchhiker, is today an invaluable tool in the ...

The ability to site-selectively incorporate a synthetic moiety like a biophysical probe, an unnatural amino acid, or a defined posttranslational modification into a protein of interest opens up a ...

Why do problems occur with a special variant of 'protein glues', the split inteins, that severely limit their use in producing proteins? A team has now answered this question. Proteins are the ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life. They consist of folded peptide chains, which in turn are made up of a series of amino acids. From stabilizing cell structure to catalyzing chemical reactions, ...

Controlling protein function in mammalian cells could get a little easier. Researchers at Harvard University describe a way to turn on proteins with self-splicing protein domains called inteins.
