The sequence of amino acids in the chain determines how the chain will fold up to make the protein, so different proteins have different three-dimensional shapes. The three-dimensional shape of a ...
On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...
Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...
A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. The researchers said the AI tool, ...
Proteins carry out many important functions in living things. A protein’s function is dependent on its structure and so proteins have a wide variety of structures to support these functions. They can ...
Google’s DeepMind AI has predicted the 3D structure of nearly all proteins known to science, an advance that can lead to a better understanding of rare genetic diseases, and also help develop new ...
