Amino acids are the building blocks that form polypeptides and ultimately proteins. Consequently, they are fundamental components of our bodies and vital for physiological functions such as protein ...

In synthetic and structural biology, advances in artificial intelligence have led to an explosion of designing new proteins ...

A scientist has used a form of artificial intelligence known as deep learning to predict the 3D structure of effectively any protein based on its amino acid sequence. This new approach for ...

Enormous computational efforts have been carried out to predict structure and function of protein. However, nearly all of these efforts have been focused on prediction of function based on primary ...

A new machine learning method has achieved what even AlphaFold cannot — the design of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), the shape-shifting biomolecules that make up nearly 30% of all human ...

Leucine and isoleucine are among the 20 amino acids found naturally in the human body. They are very similar in structure but have small differences which change their physiological properties. Both ...

Only 20 standard amino acids are used to build proteins, but why exactly nature "chose" these particular amino acids is still a mystery. One step toward solving this is to explore the "amino acid ...

Aquaglyceroporin Aqp10, a protein channel for water and glycerol, selectively permeates urea and boric acid due to its unique ...
