Each protein or peptide consists of a linear sequence of amino acids. The protein primary structure conventionally begins at the amino-terminal (N) end and continues until the carboxyl-terminal (C) ...

With AI, it's now possible for researchers to predict the three-dimensional structures of proteins directly from their ...

Discover how therapeutic peptides act as biological messengers to treat disease, improve metabolism, and enhance immune ...

Although mankind has been using silk for millennia, many aspects of its properties and molecular structure remain unknown. Now, a new study from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS ...

Structural disorder is vital for proteins' function in diverse biological processes. It is therefore highly desirable to be able to predict the degree of order and disorder from amino acid sequence.

Scientists have created an AI system capable of generating artificial enzymes from scratch. In laboratory tests, some of these enzymes worked as well as those found in nature, even when their ...

As a scientist, lab work can sometimes get monotonous. But in 2017, while a Ph.D. student of paleobiology at the University of Bristol in the U.K., I heard a gleeful exclamation from across the room.

Harvard Medical School molecular geneticist Philip Leder died last week (February 2). He was 85. Leder was revered for his work in molecular biology, immunology, and cancer genetics. His first ...

A new research study aimed to shed light on the determinants of the unique properties of silkworm silks. Findings indicate that amino acid sequences are key determinants of the material properties of ...
