Scientists have discovered the largest known protein in biology. Given the fun name of PKZILLA-1, the protein was found in algae cells and helps them make toxins that are responsible for mass killings ...
The muscle protein titin has long been the titan of the molecular world. Built of more than 34,000 amino acids and weighing in at a hefty 3.7 megadaltons, titin has long been considered the largest ...
While seeking to unravel how marine algae create their chemically complex toxins, scientists have discovered the largest protein yet identified in biology. Uncovering the biological machinery the ...
Large protein machines in the body carry out many of the cell's most essential tasks, from energy production to the ...
A candidate for the largest known protein might help killer aquatic bacteria to devour other microbes — but it’s not easy to study the behemoths, or prove they’re even real. Jacob West-Roberts, a ...
