Amino acids are small molecules that are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins serve as structural support inside the cell and they perform many vital chemical reactions. Each protein is a ...

Lysine amino acids, in particular, have complicated the addition of functional molecules to the N-terminus of peptides. The ...

Proteins are made of strings of amino acids that resemble the strand in the image above. Using machine learning models, researchers were able to design the identity of amino acids on a computer to ...

Additionally, each protein contains a wide range of functional groups (groups of atoms attached to the amino acids that participate in specific chemical reactions) that may affect its final shape.
