Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but necessary to explain cosmology. Astronomy, however, isn't the only field with ...

Proteins often function in pairs or groups, concealing their internal connection points and making it difficult for ...

Proteins are essential macromolecules that play a crucial role in virtually all biological processes. They are the building blocks of life, performing a wide range of functions within organisms, from ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in eLife on deciphering the actin structure-dependent preferential cooperative binding of cofilin. The actin filament is a double-stranded helical structure ...

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.
