Attaching amino acids to a hydrophobic organic molecule allows them to self-assemble into rare, knotted structures with ...

Proteins, we hear you loud and clear. A group of researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) devised an artificial-intelligence (AI)-based approach to translate each of the 20 amino ...

The folded structure consists of a sequence of loop and stem regions. The phosphate-sugar backbone is shown as a blue ribbon to which the nucleobases, shown as molecular structures, are attached. The ...

Chemists say they have solved a crucial problem in a theory of life’s beginnings, by demonstrating that RNA molecules can link short chains of amino acids together. The findings, published on 11 May ...

Amino acids have long been known to improve the stability and solubility of proteins. Amino acids might be added to insulin, for example, to maintain shelf-life and stop undesired chemical reactions ...

David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for their work on protein structure. Atila Altuntas / Anadolu via Getty Images On Wednesday morning, ...

Proteins are the workhorses of cells and provide vital insights to cell health and disease function. Immunoassays and mass spectrometry are well established methods for studying proteins and have led ...

Certain childhood tumors have an extreme need for amino acids. Scientists have now discovered the molecular mechanisms underlying this and how the cancer cells could be turned off. Certain childhood ...
