Glutaminase can impact the sensory evaluation and baking properties of baked goods.

P38a protein, a key enzyme in the regulation of various cellular functions, plays a crucial role in some diseases, including cancer, chronic inflammation, and neurodegenerative conditions.

A team of international scientists has recently characterized the structure of tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6) N-terminal domain for therapeutic purposes.

Scientists have described and developed 3D models that recreate how an essential transcription factor, related to the progression of lung cancer and some types of leukemia in adults, binds to specific points in the genome to perform its function.

Transcription factors are proteins that interact with DNA to regulate the function of some genes. Generally, a single transcription factor binds to several regions in the genome as it orchestrates complex cellular responses, which require the activation or inhibition of several genes.

Natural products have played important roles in drug discovery and development as more than 60% drugs are associated with natural products. It is the aim of this Research Topic to highlight some recent advances in natural products research. Yunnan University (YNU) located in Yunnan Province, China, the kingdom of plants, was founded in 1922 and officially opened in 1923. With this unique regional advantage, many interesting achievements in natural products have been made at YNU.To celebrate the ...
