1. PROTEINS: STRUCTURE AND
FUNCTION.
BY: Daniel Santiago Valencia Hernández

4. Proteins have a
great potential for
several diseases’
treatments.
Developing new
techniques and
solutions creates
alternatives, as in
investigations as in
therapies.

5. Structure of tumor-suppressing
Protein Identified.
CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY
(August 20th, 2015).

9. These studies that researches
have been doing are a very good
window that allows the rest of the
investigation community to
propose something else, and
keep digging within this matter.

10. ‘Fountain of youth’ protein points
to possible human health benefit.
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN
FRANCISCO
(August 25th, 2015).

14. They had an investigation
advantage, previous works; even
though, they had to collect the
pieces and put them together in
order to get the big picture, they
did it. Perhaps, new and amazing
studies are about to come thanks
to these researchers.

16. Both researches were focused
on proteins and how their
structure merged with their
function, that mixture allowed
researchers to point new
methods in order to treat, more
efficiently, some diseases.

17. Proteins are very important just
because they are the feedstock to our
tissue-building machinery within cells.
It is how the genome can be
translated to a physical expression
and, therefore, codify a tissue to its
own functions.

18. A lot of treatments for some diseases
are just destined to flaw, not because
of the treatment itself, but because of
the very reason beneath every
disease. As minimum as a change
within a protein’s structure might be,
that may imply huge differences over
treatments.
