Northwestern University researchers have identified structural features in engineered cell receptors that correlate with ...

The amino acid sequence of a protein encodes its three-dimensional structure and determines its biological function. Although researchers can readily generate proteins with altered amino acid ...

All biological function is dependent on how different proteins interact with each other. Protein-protein interactions ...

Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each performing a specialized function. Researchers have long known that the ...

The structure and function of key prokaryotic cell structures. Prokaryotes have ribosomes but they are smaller and structurally simpler than those in eukaryotic cells. These non-membrane-bound ...

Using protein structure prediction tools, researchers have uncovered receptor structure-function relationships to improve cell therapies.

AlphaFold, an AI tool, predicts protein structure from amino acid sequences. MIT researchers, led by Professor Richard Young, have developed ProtGPS, a model that predicts where proteins localize ...
