In fact, each gene in cellular DNA contains the code for a unique protein structure. Not only are these proteins assembled with different amino acid sequences, but they also are held together by ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown bacterial protein, the structure of which is being used in the design of protein nanoparticles for the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs to tumors.

In a paper published in PNAS, researchers at King's College London and the University of Washington describe the unique 3D structure of this protein, which is now being used to develop cancer drug ...

To understand how RNA functions, it is essential for scientists to know its 3D structure. Kihara studies protein tertiary structure prediction/comparison, protein-protein docking, protein-ligand ...

Proteins have four levels of structure: primary (amino acid sequence), secondary (local folding patterns like alpha helices and beta sheets), tertiary (overall 3D shape), and quaternary (assembly of ...

“Not just the spatial structure of the protein but how it changes over time ... protein would have evolved with those particular amino acids in it to make those 3D patterns that allow it to fold,” ...

Two new studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in Nature Structural ...

"Using this instrument, 3D protein orientation changes can be recorded," said first author Talon Chandler of CZ Biohub San Francisco, a former University of Chicago graduate student who conducted ...

The sequence of amino acids in the chain determines how the chain will fold up to make the protein, so different proteins have different three-dimensional shapes. The three-dimensional shape of a ...
