Co-translational protein targeting is an essential, evolutionarily conserved pathway for delivering nascent proteins to the proper cellular membrane. In this pathway, the signal recognition ...

A research team uncovers a crucial molecular pathway by which sucrose, long known as a key energy source, also acts as a ...

Given the amino-acid sequence or 3D structure of a protein, how much can we predict about its function using just a desktop computer? The recent explosive growth in the volume of sequence data and ...

A predictive biophysical model that integrates protein-DNA structures and sequences to accurately determine genomic binding sites and affinities of DNA-binding proteins.

Günter Blobel, known for his work on the signal hypothesis of protein targeting, has died from cancer at age 81. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal ...

New deep-learning approach predicts protein structure from amino acid sequence Date: April 17, 2019 Source: Harvard Medical School Summary: A scientist has used a form of artificial intelligence ...

The team experimentally quantified the aggregation of more than 100,000 protein sequences, and used this dataset to train the new AI tool for predicting aggregation from sequence.

Scientists at MIT say they have discovered a mechanism that prevents noncoding DNA from being copied, by pointing the copying in the right direction.
