Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have created a database that provides updated predicted structures on a ...

Recent advances in computational biology have revolutionised the field of protein structure and function prediction. Traditionally, determining the three‐dimensional architecture of a protein from its ...

PELSA, a high-throughput tool that rapidly detects protein–ligand interactions across hundreds of samples daily. By ...

Scientists have discovered a mechanism by which an area of a protein shape-shifts to convert vitamin A into a form usable by the eye's light-sensing photoreceptor cells. A previously uncharacterized ...

On Monday, Oct 12th at 3pm EDT, get a sneak peek of brand-new biotechnology that will soon be available aboard the ISS. In this free live session, we will demonstrate how the BioBits® cell-free system ...

For most proteins, structure is function. The complex three-dimensional shapes that proteins adopt create folds and pockets that can accomplish the remarkably improbable: driving chemical reactions ...

This fully updated volume explores a wide array of new and state-of-the-art tools and resources for protein function prediction. Beginning with in-depth overviews of essential underlying computational ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

Researchers used cryo-EM to study how the HIV enzyme integrase arranges in 3D to slip its DNA into the host genome and pack its genetic material into new viral particles.

Paneer, eggs and chicken are among the most common protein sources in Indian diets and each offers a different nutritional ...
