Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but necessary to explain cosmology. Astronomy, however, isn't the only field with ...

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. Subscribe to ...

AI protein function prediction is reshaping how laboratories approach protein annotation, hypothesis generation, and translational research. As sequencing technologies continue to outpace experimental ...

It has long been thought that protein function and stability are highly sensitive to changes in the composition of the internal structures, or protein cores. However, a large-scale experiment probing ...

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 ...
