In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers discovered that the spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is susceptible to cleavage at ...
Temporary protein-protein bonds are essential for processes including enzymatic reactions, antibody binding, and response to medication. Being able to accurately characterize these bonds is important ...
Disulfide bonds play a pivotal role in the folding and stability of many bacterial proteins, influencing not only their tertiary structure but also their biological activity. In bacteria, the ...
We rely on temporary protein-protein bonds for essential processes including enzymatic reactions, antibody binding, and response to medication. Being able to accurately characterize these bonds is ...
Proteins can form “catch-bonds” that tighten under force, much like a finger trap. Using artificial intelligence and molecular simulations, Auburn scientists uncovered how these bonds strengthen ...
AI analysis uncovers why certain protein interactions behave like a finger trap, gripping tighter the harder they’re pulled. Imagine tugging on a Chinese finger trap. The harder you pull, the tighter ...
We’re all mostly human. 8% of your genome comes from viruses. In A Nutshell Scientists captured the first detailed images of ...
