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 ...

Researchers from Facebook AI Research (FAIR) at Meta AI have published a paper in the journal Science detailing a machine-learning-created database of 617 million predicted protein structures. The ...

Biologists found a way to identify and study low-complexity regions of proteins. The technique allows them to analyze similarities and differences between LCRs from different species, and helps ...

A team of researchers based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (the United States) has tried to shed light on the ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

Peptides may be able to survive in the enamel of teeth that are tens of millions of years old. Two independent studies have reported on proteins found in ancient teeth, have provided the oldest ...

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 ...
