Designing de novo proteins holds immense potential for achieving superior combinations of novel functions and mechanical properties, thereby advancing biological and engineering applications. However, ...

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) ...

Gene sequences are made up of nucleotide bases, which are 'read' by the cell's machinery in triplets; three nucleotide bases are interpreted as one codon, and every codon has a corresponding amino ...

New research headed by scientists at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) has demonstrated how the three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary ...

Protein design is crucial for the treatment of human diseases, but traditional protein design methods have some limitations. Site-directed mutagenesis is highly dependent on the physiological ...

UCLA molecular biologists have turned protein sequences into original compositions of classical music. UCLA molecular biologists have turned protein sequences into original compositions of classical ...

A scientist has used a form of artificial intelligence known as deep learning to predict the 3D structure of effectively any protein based on its amino acid sequence. This new approach for ...

In 2000, Jonathan Rothberg’s stealth company, 454 Life Sciences, set out to change the next-gen sequencing industry, which was just getting started. Quantum-Si Incorporated (QSI), the restless ...

Proteins sourced from microorganisms are attracting attention for their potential in biomanufacturing a variety of products, including pharmaceuticals, industrial enzymes, and diagnostic antibodies.
