A study by researchers at the Interuniversity Institute of Bioinformatics in Brussels, the Structural Biology research group ...

To address this relationship between structure and function, structural biology makes use of some fundamental ... On the other hand, fibrous proteins have elongated shapes, are relatively simple from ...

How did life originate? Ancient proteins may hold important clues. Every organism on Earth is made up of proteins. Although all organisms—even single-celled ones—have complex protein structures now, ...

CEO of DeepMind Demis Hassabis claims that discovering a protein structure - which used to take years frequently- is now nearly as simple as ... first by NewScientist, Biology has struggled ...

Yet when faced with enormous protein complexes ... Kosinski at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory. So far, even with state-of-the-art biochemical means, scientists have only solved 46 percent ...

The sequence of amino acids in the chain determines how the chain will fold up to make the protein, so different proteins have different three-dimensional shapes. The three-dimensional shape of a ...

A study has found that an ancient protein motif that binds to nucleic acids is functionally "ambidextrous." This means that ...

available in its AlphaFold Protein Structure Database. The database was built together with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, an international public research institute that already ...

the plastic parts are the proteins, limited in number, each with a defined form. The instructions are the regulatory RNAs. With the same parts, you can build either a simple or complex structure.

Researchers have discovered that mutations affect protein stability following remarkably simple rules ... can unpredictably affect the whole structure made us use incredibly complex models ...

DeepMind has predicted the structure of almost every protein so far catalogued by science, cracking one of the grand challenges of biology in just 18 months thanks to an artificial intelligence ...
