A team of US researchers has gained new insights into how large protein molecules consistently fold themselves into useful shapes. Using a new approach to fluorescence microscopy, Hoi Sung Chung and ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics.

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a biochemical technique that captures fleeting ...

AI protein function prediction uses machine learning models trained on sequence and structural data to infer protein roles at ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

When cancer-driving proteins resist various treatments, Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a new solution. Don't fight them—throw them in the cellular trash. In a new study published in ...

Researchers identified dietary proteins that shape oral tolerance through intestinal regulatory T cells. Learn how food antigens may train immune tolerance.
