The primary structure of a protein — its amino acid sequence — drives the folding and intramolecular bonding of the linear amino acid chain, which ultimately determines the protein's unique ...

The current COVID-19 pandemic is rife with problems that hackers have attacked with gusto. From 3D printed face shields and homebrew face masks to replacements for full-fledged mechanical ventilato… ...

Protein folding is a process by which a polypeptide chain folds to become a biologically active protein in its native 3D structure. ... from a primary to quaternary structure.

Primary protein structure. Proteins are made up of a long chain of amino acids. Even with a limited number of amino acid monomers – there are only 20 amino acids commonly seen in the human body ...

When such cleavage sites occur sequentially in the primary structure, we call the region a ‘folding element’, a new concept that could assist in our understanding of the protein folding problem.

“We really needed to make progress on protein-ligand binding and co-folding of ligands with proteins in order to help us design more effective drugs,” said Demis Hassabis, CEO of both DeepMind ...

DeepMind has expanded its AlphaFold Protein Structure Database to include almost 200 million structures, including almost every protein known to science. Open to the public, this could provide a ...

An AI called AlphaFold predicted structures for nearly every protein known to science. Those predictions aren’t without limits, some researchers say.

In many ways the secret to understanding life itself may be hidden in the twists and turns of protein folding. Richard Brill is a retired professor of science at Honolulu Community College.

Why characterize protein primary structureThe molecular structure of therapeutic proteins is complex and diverse, and their properties vary widely. Therefore, specific analytical methods must be ...

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic and IBM have recently published findings in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation that could lay the groundwork for applying quantum computing methods to ...
