It is perhaps worth noting that the introduction of supertertiary structure does not challenge the classical structure-function paradigm but instead extends it: just as tertiary structure conveys ...
The structure of protein sets the foundation for its interaction with other molecules in the body and, therefore, determines its function. This article will cover the structural principles of ...
Protein Structure and Function Prediction Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Protein Structure and Function Prediction.
DeepMind says its AlphaFold tool has successfully predicted the structure of nearly all proteins known to science. The AI lab is offering its database of over 200 million proteins to anyone for free.
Penn investigators are the first to observe and measure the internal motion inside proteins, revealing how this affects their function. This overturns the standard view of protein structure ...
Researchers have described a large set of previously unrecognized enzymatic domains—named the Lipocone superfamily—and outlined their evolutionary pathway from bacterial defense molecules to key ...
Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence have transformed protein structure biology from a data-limited discipline into a data-driven frontier of ...
A new study demonstrates the evolution of protein structure and function over 3.8 billion years. Snippets of genetic code, consistent across organisms and time, direct proteins to create 'loops ...
Removing the charges from a cellulose-binding protein (shown) left its structure and function unaffected. Hydrophilic residues are in blue; hydrophobic ones are in grey.
Vincent A. Fischetti, Kevin F. Jones, Susan K. Hollingshead, June R. Scott, Structure, Function, and Genetics of Streptococcal M Protein, Reviews of Infectious ...
Studying the structure and shape of a protein, rather than its sequence, is considered to be an eloquent way of determining function.
