In fact, each gene in cellular DNA contains the code for a unique protein structure. Not only are these ... that consist of an alpha (central) carbon atom linked to an amino group, a carboxyl ...

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 ...

Consequently, they are fundamental components of our bodies and vital for physiological functions such as protein synthesis, tissue repair and nutrient absorption. Here we take a closer look at amino ...

solving a decades-long mystery by determining the first structure of the human protein PINK1 bound to mitochondria. First discovered more than 20 years ago, PINK1 is a protein directly ...

After translation, the polypeptide is finally folded into the correct shape and becomes a protein. Peptide bonds form between the adjacent amino acids to finalise the structure.

Meanwhile, deep learning models face challenges in modeling complex molecular–protein interactions and capturing sequence-structure dependencies. PocketGen addresses these issues, offering a ...

The researchers claim that AlphaFold3 is 50% more accurate than current software-based methods of predicting protein ...

This important study shows, for the first time, the structure and snapshots of the dynamics of the full-length soluble Angiotensin-I converting enzyme dimer. The combination of structural and ...
