Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have created a database that provides updated predicted structures on a ...

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 ...

Enormous computational efforts have been carried out to predict structure and function of protein. However, nearly all of these efforts have been focused on prediction of function based on primary ...

A scientist has used a form of artificial intelligence known as deep learning to predict the 3D structure of effectively any protein based on its amino acid sequence. This new approach for ...

Leucine and isoleucine are among the 20 amino acids found naturally in the human body. They are very similar in structure but have small differences which change their physiological properties. Both ...

A nicely designed and useful app, the Amino Acid Tutor Free app allows users to review amino acid structure and the three- or one-letter codes. The user interface is minimalist, but sleekly designed.

Nearly seven years ago, MIT scientists mapped the molecular structure of proteins in spider silk threads onto musical theory to produce the "sound" of silk in hopes of establishing a radical new way ...

For medicinal chemists, making tweaks to peptide structures is key to developing new drug candidates. Now, researchers have demonstrated that two iron-containing small-molecule catalysts can help turn ...
