On Tuesday, Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs announced a significant progress update on the next iteration of AlphaFold, the deep learning model that in 2020 cracked the problem of predicting a ...
A new statistical model demonstrates the ability to correctly predict the folding mechanisms for both small and large proteins. The function of a protein is determined by its structure. From the rigid ...
What puts the electronic pep in peptides? A folded structure, according to a new study. Researchers combined single-molecule experiments, molecular dynamics simulations and quantum mechanics to ...
What puts the electronic pep in peptides? A folded structure, according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Electron transport, the energy-generating process inside ...
Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions.
Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...
When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...
Electron transport, the energy-generating process inside living cells that enables photosynthesis and respiration, is enhanced in peptides with a collapsed, folded structure. Credit: Moeen Meigooni.
