The human body contains proteins that are designed to protect us from cancerous growths. Like most proteins, to do their job properly, these “guardians” have to fold into a specific three-dimensional ...
Based on a protein’s three-dimensional surface structure, the algorithm designs molecules that bind specifically to the protein according to the lock- and-key principle, so they can interact ...
At a basic level, proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids. These chains often create helices, pleats, and folds to form a three-dimensional structure. Multiple proteins can also bond ...
A new study reveals a 'nano-switch' in ferredoxin that affects its electron transfer, which could lead to advancements in sensors and drug development. Researchers in Japan have discovered a mechanism ...
