Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions.

Whether the cause is genetic or environmental, these proteins are improperly folded, fail to do their job and can accumulate in the body with devastating results. By looking for missteps in the ...

This kind of tight folding and packing minimizes the overall free energy of the protein. An average protein has about 300 amino acid residues. If we consider that there are twenty different amino ...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a polygenic disorder influenced by multiple genes, but their ...

The result suggests that the protein made by the gene, known as Nwd1, and other molecules it interacts with could be ...

Novel protein cage systems can control and visualize orientational changes in aromatic side chains upon ligand binding, as reported by researchers at the Institute of Science, Tokyo. By inducing ...

Shortly after AlphaGo’s success in 2016, DeepMind aimed to tackle the next challenge: protein folding. Hassabis’ and Jumper’s team won that year’s CASP, and AlphaFold1 left quite an impression for ...

Mayo Clinic launched a new prion test, RT-QuIC Prion, CSF, which can distinguish prion disease from other causes of rapidly ...

Explore how FTIR spectroscopy is used in life sciences to analyze biomolecules, identify compounds, and advance research in biology and medicine.

Although plant cell-based bioproduction has advanced considerably during the past several years, certain elements remain largely unexplored.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a liver disease that progresses without symptoms and is associated ...
