Given the amino-acid sequence or 3D structure of a protein, how much can we predict about its function using just a desktop computer? The recent explosive growth in the volume of sequence data and ...

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 ...

Their findings, which were published in Science Advances, also offer new insights into 2'3'-cGAMP's role in cell migration ...

“Our results provide an explanation and illustration of how kinetics can also control protein structure and function,” said Ed O’Brien, PhD, a professor of chemistry at Penn State, and the ...

The protein "MIPS" changes its internal structure when it becomes active. Its disordered active center becomes a defined ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka found that Oxr1 and Ncoa7 regulate the vacuolar-type proton pump ATPase on the ...

Semirational protein design is a combination of rational and directed evolution methods. 9 Scientists consider this strategy more effective because they can use computational or bioinformatic modeling ...

New research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison decodes the evolutionary pathway of regulatory proteins, the molecules that help control gene expression. Proteins acquire and lose functions ...

Protein is an essential nutrient for the body to function. This article looks at how much protein a person needs, healthful high protein foods, and tips for getting enough protein. Medical News Today ...
