Antibodies are the immune system's precision tools for recognizing and neutralizing viruses, bacteria and other foreign ...

Frederick Sanger presented the first complete amino acid sequence of a protein (insulin) after 12 years of painstaking biochemistry involving partial hydrolysis and proteolytic cleavage. Needless to ...

This specific 1-29 sequence is often referred to as the "functional fragment" because it contains the essential binding domain required to activate GHRH receptors in the pituitary gland.

A Seoul National University research team has developed an ultra-fast analysis technology capable of tracking the protein evolution process spanning billions of years in a single leap. The Ministry of ...

Elongation, a crucial step in the translation process of protein synthesis, gets disrupted by amino acid sequences with an abundance of N-terminal aspartic and glutamic acid residues in eukaryotic ...

Scientists have created an AI system capable of generating artificial enzymes from scratch. In laboratory tests, some of these enzymes worked as well as those found in nature, even when their ...

It's a dogma taught in every introductory biology class: Proteins are composed of combinations of 20 different amino acids, arranged into diverse sequences like words. But researchers trying to ...

For a protein-coding mRNA, “life” should be pretty simple: get assembled through transcription, produce a protein through translation, then get recycled by cellular machinery so you can do it all ...
