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 ...

A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. The researchers said the AI tool, ...
