Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into "complexes" to fulfill their functions. A study by the ...
Proteins are often called the building blocks of cells, but even those building blocks need to be built. One of the most important steps in the process of building proteins is glycosylation, when ...
While we often think of diseases as caused by foreign bodies -- bacteria or viruses -- there are hundreds of diseases affecting humans that result from errors in cellular production of its proteins. A ...
Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab has created Seq2Symm, an open-source AI tool that helps scientists determine the 3D shapes of certain proteins, including those found in viruses. Seq2Symm uses AI to ...
These proteins depend on their partner because they are rapidly degraded if they are not combined into complexes as soon as they are made. Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble ...
The enzyme nitrogenase ‘fixes’ nitrogen gas to form bioavailable ammonia, a vital process for life. Two studies solve a long-standing mystery: how a small protein saves nitrogenase from destruction by ...
