Enormous computational efforts have been carried out to predict structure and function of protein. However, nearly all of these efforts have been focused on prediction of function based on primary ...

A machine-learning model computationally breaks down how segments of amino acid chains determine a protein's function, which could help researchers design and test new proteins for drug development or ...

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in many foods, including fish and nuts. This essential nutrient is crucial for maintaining ...

All the cells of an organism contain a copy of DNA in their nucleus. In order to implement the instructions it contains, this DNA must be copied into an RNA molecule, which reaches the ribosomes, ...

The structure of protein sets the foundation for its interaction with other molecules in the body and, therefore, determines its function. This article will cover the structural principles of proteins ...

Humans possess six forms of the protein actin, which perform essential functions in the body. Two in particular, ?-actin and ?-actin, are nearly identical, only differing by four amino acids. Yet ...

A machine-learning model from MIT researchers computationally breaks down how segments of amino acid chains determine a protein’s function, which could help researchers design and test new proteins ...
