The global market for peptide-based cancer therapies is rapidly expanding, offering new therapeutic and diagnostic opportunities. Peptides, known for their high specificity and minimized toxicity, ...

Venom is a proven source of therapeutic drugs. Now, Los Alamos scientists are using AI to speed up the search for cures.

This manuscript introduces a useful protein-stability-based fitness model for simulating protein evolution and unifying non-neutral models of molecular evolution with phylogenetic models. The model is ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara, UCSF and the University of Pittsburgh have developed a new workflow for designing enzymes from scratch, paving the way toward more efficient, powerful and ...

Here, we describe a laboratory experience for undergraduate students based on an analytical scheme leading to the identification of an unknown amino acid through a sequence of physical ... responses ...

These sequences form a specific protein ... These elements form the same amino acid structure. In the center is a carbon atom. It’s attached to a hydrogen atom, a basic amino group (a group ...

The data was collected from UniRef50 [52], which consists of 9 billion amino acid tokens and 33 million protein sequences. SeqVec was applied to several protein-related downstream tasks such as ...

Demarchi’s team has detected short, intact sequences of amino acids still bound in a chain ... to produce that type of eggshell microscopic structure.

Each protein or peptide consists of a linear sequence of amino acids. The protein primary structure conventionally begins at the amino-terminal (N) end and continues until the carboxyl-terminal (C ...

They are composed of amino acid building blocks stuck together ... that includes one algorithm to create a structure, another to design a sequence, and then a final folding algorithm to confirm ...
