Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this capability is a novel modular design strategy developed by researchers at ...

Recent advances in computational biology have revolutionised the field of protein structure and function prediction. Traditionally, determining the three‐dimensional architecture of a protein from its ...

For most proteins, structure is function. The complex three-dimensional shapes that proteins adopt create folds and pockets that can accomplish the remarkably improbable: driving chemical reactions ...

AI protein function prediction uses machine learning models trained on sequence and structural data to infer protein roles at ...

This fully updated volume explores a wide array of new and state-of-the-art tools and resources for protein function prediction. Beginning with in-depth overviews of essential underlying computational ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Quanterix. Learn more about tau biomarkers and clinical applications. Tau is a flexible protein that stabilizes the internal structure of neurons and supports ...

A protein that is a key modulator of fat, glucose and cholesterol levels in the body usually works in tandem with another ...

In Greek mythology, Proteus, son of Poseidon and prophetic shepherd of sea-beasts, could foretell the future. The elusive sea god was difficult to capture as he assumed many forms—a lion, a serpent, ...
