For decades, scientists have understood proteins primarily through two defining features: their amino acid sequence and their three-dimensional structure. This framework has driven major advances in ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

ARLINGTON, Va. – U.S. military researchers are ready to kick off a project that seeks to control biological functions using microsystems and molecular catalysts. Officials of the U.S. Defense Advanced ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics. Many ...

ARLINGTON, Va. – U.S. military researchers will brief industry later this month on a project that seeks to control biological functions using microsystems and molecular catalysts. Officials of the U.S ...

A comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes has just been completed and released. Researchers used large-scale evolutionary modeling to integrate data on ...

A comprehensive analysis of nearly 1,000 individuals reveals that while brain structure, function, and behavior can all predict a person's biological sex, an individual's degree of sex typicality in ...

Source: Via Tenor The human brain has been described as the most complex structure in the universe (Dolan, 2007; see also Pang, 2023). Researchers estimate that we have over 100 trillion connections ...

A new resource from the Gene Ontology Consortium, a comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes, has been completed and released on a new website. For the first ...
