In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...

Proteins are made of amino acid chains, or polypeptides. Amino acids have a basic backbone made of an amino group and a carboxyl group, and differ in their side-chains. These polypeptide chains of ...

On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

Proteins play a crucial role in the world of research and their structures are, therefore, of great interest to the researcher. Many techniques and methods have been used to determine this, but one of ...

Protein design researchers have created a freely available method, RoseTTAFold, to provide access to highly accurate protein structure prediction. Scientists around the world are using it to build ...

When French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants were depodded in the early stages of fruit development, relative levels of a specific protein with a relative molecular weight of 28,000 were enhanced in ...

Marcelo Sousa, a biochemist at the University of Colorado Boulder, had spent ten years trying to crack a particularly tricky puzzle. Sousa and his team had collected reams of experimental data on a ...
