A broadly applicable method allows selective, rapid and efficient chemical modification of the side chain of tryptophan amino acids in proteins. This platform enables systematic, proteome-wide ...

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it lets off lower-frequency energy. This soft ...

The prediction of protein structure is difficult for a few reasons. First, there is a huge search space — every possible 3D position for each atom in each amino acid. Second, proteins chemically ...

Long working hours might not just be bad for you, they could also be altering the structure of your brain, a new study suggests. The research, published Tuesday, found “significant changes” in ...

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it releases energy at a lower frequency. This ...

When tryptophan hits our gut bacteria break it down into byproducts, but what they become depends on where they’re used. “If tryptophan hits our body’s cells, it tends to go get broken down ...

DeepMind says its AlphaFold tool has successfully predicted the structure of nearly all proteins known to science. The AI lab is offering its database of over 200 million proteins to anyone for free.
