Why do problems occur with a special variant of 'protein glues', the split inteins, that severely limit their use in producing proteins? A team has now answered this question.

A team developed the catGRANULE 2.0 ROBOT, a machine-learning algorithm to predict protein behavior linked to neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The algorithm identifies ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life. They consist of folded peptide chains, which in turn are made up of a series of amino acids. From stabilizing cell structure to catalyzing chemical reactions, ...
