Within the field of protein structure prediction, the packing of alpha-helical proteins has been one of the more difficult problems. Distance constraints and topology predictions can be highly useful ...

Efforts to unlock the mysteries of proteins, building blocks of life, have earned three scientists the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The prize goes to David Baker “for computational protein ...

Scientists’ Work on Protein Structure, Which Governs All Aspects of Life, Wins Nobel Prize in Chemistry David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper revealed how amino acids shape protein ...

Move over, chatbots. This upgraded AI can model antibodies, DNA, and molecules from disease organisms. This next generation of AlphaFold, from Google Deepmind, is poised to significantly advance ...

One small protein in SARS-CoV-2, the Membrane protein, or M protein, is the most abundant and plays a crucial role in how the virus acquires its spherical structure.

In a rare but serious complication of cancer, the body’s own immune system can start attacking the brain, causing rapid-onset memory loss and cognitive deficits. What triggers this sudden biological ...

Electron microscopy with negative staining revealed an extended, filamentous CHGA structure with a diameter of ∼94 ± 4.5 Å. Extended, coiled-coil conformation is likely to permit protein “packing” in ...

Google’s AI protein folder IDs structure where none seemingly existed Two intrinsically disordered proteins form a specific structure ID'ed by AlphaFold.

In a recent study by the team, they discovered the 3D structure of a protein called TnpB, a probable precursor to the CRISPR-Cas12 enzyme. Their findings appeared in the journal Nature.

Tertiary structure of protein The tertiary structure of a protein is its overall shape, including the arrangement of its constituent polypeptide chains, in three-dimensional (3D) space.

This video shows the newly identified 3D structure of the E1E2 protein on the surface of the hepatitis C virus. The two main subunits of the protein are colored in pink and blue. Sugar molecules ...
