proteins in disease

The sense of smell is made possible by proteins called olfactory receptors. Learn how researchers are studying these proteins and how dogs can be trained to detect certain smells. 

The structures of proteins are important to understanding their functions. Learn about how researchers study GPCRs that can be linked to diseases. 

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) encodes a protein called reverse transcriptase that is necessary for its replication cycle in humans. New drugs are emerging to help inhibit this protein.
