The structure of protein sets the foundation for its interaction with other molecules in the body and, therefore, determines its function. This article will cover the structural principles of ...

The scientists used AI technology to design proteins that would activate a cell signaling language called Notch, which is ...

Proteins, similar to carbohydrates and lipids, are made up of such elements as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They are amino acid chains, made up from 20 different L-alpha-amino acids, also referred ...

A collaborative team from the Rosalind Franklin Institute, the University of Oxford, and Diamond Light Source has developed a breakthrough method that makes it possible to image very small proteins ...

These polypeptide chains of amino acids can be shaped as helixes or sheets, which come together to form a 3D structure. The 3D structure of proteins is referred to as its “tertiary structure”.

Typically, figuring out the structure involves laborious biochemistry to purify the protein, followed by a number of imaging techniques to determine where each of its atoms resides. But in theory ...

Changes in the Secondary Structure and Assembly of Proteins on Fluoride Ceramic (CeF3) Nanoparticle Surfaces. ACS Applied Bio Materials, 2022; 5 (6): 2843 DOI: 10.1021/acsabm.2c00239 ...

They sketched out a made-up 3-D protein — something that did not exist in nature — and asked Rosetta to come up with an amino acid sequence that would fold into that structure. It worked.

Between 1957 and 1960, Nobel Prize laureate John Kendrew, a biochemist at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, resolved the first structural model of a globular protein, ...

Open-sourcing of protein-structure software is already paying off The big trade-off is between computational intensity and the size of the complex. John Timmer – Nov 13, 2021 5:00 AM | 26 ...
