Inteins are self-splicing elements that excise themselves from translated proteins to leave behind the extein, or mature protein. The majority of functionally relevant residues are thought to be ...

Adenoviral vectors infect cells through the binding of capsid proteins to cell-surface receptors. The ubiquitous expression of adenoviral receptors in human tissues represents an obstacle toward 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 stabilising cell structure to catalysing chemical reactions, ...
