How does the heart beat out its regular rhythm for decades? How do our eyes process the light and color before them? Ion channels control or regulate diverse physiological activities in our body.

This film creatively illustrates the process of protein synthesis through dance, symbolizing the assembly of amino acids into proteins. It explains how genes encode instructions for amino acid ...

Advances in protein sequencing enable deeper insights and facilitate applications such as biomarker discovery and ...

Dehydrolactone (middle panel) in a polypeptide undergoes an intermolecular rearrangement to generate a ketide with a new carbon-carbon bond in the backbone. The researchers installed dehydrolactone in ...

Li, C. H., Geschwind, I. I., Cole, R. D., Raacke, I. D., Harris, J. I., and Dixon, J. S., Nature, 176, 687 (1955).

Machine learning (ML) is transforming protein structure prediction. Algorithms can predict 3D structures from amino acid sequences, surpassing slower, more expensive traditional methods. ML-based ...

This process, known as condensation or dehydration synthesis, results in the formation of a linear chain of amino acids. The sequence of amino acids in a protein, known as its primary structure, ...

The Harvard Medical School researcher’s work on the genetic basis of protein coding and production led him to make groundbreaking ... Together they developed a technique that confirmed that amino ...

Synthetic proteins that promote multi-step catalysis have previously proven challenging to engineer. But the team behind this ...
