A machine-learning model from MIT researchers computationally breaks down how segments of amino acid chains determine a protein’s function, which could help researchers design and test new proteins ...

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 ...

With a newly developed method that compares AI-generated protein sequences with naturally occurring ones, function- and structure-regulating amino acids can be determined much more precisely than ...

A new study suggests that arginine, a common amino acid, may help reduce the brain plaques associated with Alzheimer’s ...

Humans possess six forms of the protein actin, which perform essential functions in the body. Two in particular, ?-actin and ?-actin, are nearly identical, only differing by four amino acids. Yet ...

A machine-learning model computationally breaks down how segments of amino acid chains determine a protein's function, which could help researchers design and test new proteins for drug development or ...
