Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

Jacobs School researchers have shown how an electron diffraction technique can quickly and efficiently create high-resolution ...

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 ...

In an ambitious collaboration, researchers added 1.8 million high-confidence protein complex structure predictions to the ...

As people around the world marveled in July at the most detailed pictures of the cosmos snapped by the James Webb Space Telescope, biologists got their first glimpses of a different set of images — ...

For many people, "protein" is the key element of a food order. However, beyond the preferred choice of meats or plant-based ...

The function of a protein is usually determined by the ligands that it binds to. The 3D structure of the binding groove or pocket can be compared to other proteins and similar residues used to make ...

Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory used artificial intelligence to analyze protein nanoribbons, pointing to potential design rules tied to peptide length and secondary structure. The ...

Heterotrimeric G proteins are important in G protein-coupled receptor signaling, which is important in the detection of various stimuli. Here, researchers found that the protein that regulates ...
