For 100 years, the dogma has been that amino acid sequence determines protein folding and that the folded structure determines function. But researchers explain in a new study, a large class of ...

Human enterprise is increasingly affecting biodiversity beyond outright species losses, causing changes in ecosystem functions and the services they deliver to human beings. However, few tools are ...

A study has revealed the three-dimensional genomic structure of male germ cells and how this structure determines function. It represents a significant advance in our understanding of how the dynamics ...

With a newly developed method that compares AI-generated protein sequences with naturally occurring ones, function- and ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are targeted by ∼30–40% of marketed drugs, and their key roles in normal physiology and in disease demonstrate that an understanding of their structure and function ...

A fundamental issue in microbial and general ecology is the question to what extent environmental conditions dictate the structure of communities and the linkages with functional properties of ...
