Apple developed an alternative AI model to predict the 3D structure of proteins, and it shows promise. Here are the details.

These chains come in a wide range of lengths. In humans a typical protein is about 400 amino acids long; some are a lot longer. Molecules of RNA, one of the two nucleic acids, can reach up to 100,000 ...

Receptor proteins, expressed on the cell surface or within the cell, bind to different signaling molecules, known as ligands, ...

In a Vermont cheese cave, green mold turned white in just eight years. Genetic shifts reveal how microbes adapt quickly to dark, stable conditions.

Receptor proteins, expressed on the cell surface or within the cell, bind to different signaling molecules, known as ligands, initiating cellular ...

Researchers demonstrated how amino acids could spontaneously attach to RNA under early Earth-like conditions using thioesters, providing a long-sought clue to the origins of protein synthesis. This ...

For decades, amino acids have been added to medical formulations like insulin as stabilizers: these small molecules keep ...

Biologists have long known that amino acids can help stabilize proteins, for example as additives to pharmaceutical formulations. In trying to understand why this works, EPFL and MIT researchers have ...

Amino acids have long been known to improve the stability and solubility of proteins; they might be added to medications to keep them stable ... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

In this important work, the authors present a new transformer-based neural network designed to isolate and quantify higher-order epistasis in protein sequences. They provide solid evidence that higher ...

Glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, depends on the amino acid serine as a fuel source. A serine-deficient diet has been shown to slow tumour growth in mice. Daniel Mobilio is in the Centre for ...
