AI systems already work their magic in many areas of biomedical science, helping to solve protein structure, discover hidden ...

While DNA sequencing is routine, determining protein sequences remains one of biology’s toughest challenges, says ...

Predicting a protein's structure from its amino acid sequence is a 'holy grail' for the structural biology community. In spite of decades of effort, it remains an extremely difficult problem both ...

Our research focuses on studies on the molecular structure and mechanism of proteins, recently mostly on the endoplasmic ... We also collaborate on various structural biology projects with local ...

Learn about our Editorial Policies. While AlphaFold and the subsequent AI revolution in biology garnered a lot of attention, the foundational bricks for the strides made in protein structure and ...

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 ...

The protein "MIPS" changes its internal structure when it becomes active. Its disordered active center becomes a defined structure with special functions. The protein plays a key role in the ...

Imagine standing on a vast, dark plain. Without light, you cannot see dips and rolls in the grass or make out hills and ...
