An international research team reveals new molecular mechanisms associated with pathogenic mutations in the protein ...

Occasionally, single-letter misspellings in the genetic code, known as point mutations, occur. Point mutations that alter the resulting protein sequences are called nonsynonymous mutations, while ...

In a recent study published on the preprint server bioRxiv*, researchers describe the evolution of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) non-structural protein 1 (NSP1).

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a protein on the surface of your cells that helps them grow. When the gene that codes for EGFR has a mutation, it affects the way this protein works, causing ...
