A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics.

This fully updated volume explores a wide array of new and state-of-the-art tools and resources for protein function prediction. Beginning with in-depth overviews of essential underlying computational ...

A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that draws logical inferences about the function of unknown proteins promises to help scientists unravel the inner workings of the cell. A new artificial ...

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. It involves the systematic identification, quantification, and analysis of the entire protein complement ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into 'complexes' to fulfill their functions. A study reveals why this assembly often begins during the very process of protein synthesis or ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers developed "DeepGO-SE," a method to predict gene ontology (GO) functions from protein sequences using a large, ...

In genetics, one harmful variant can be enough to cause disease—but two can make it far more severe. One notable example is KJ, an infant diagnosed with a rare urea cycle disorder with a grim ...
