These chains come in a wide range of lengths. In humans a typical protein is about 400 amino acids long; some are a lot longer. Molecules of RNA, one of the two nucleic acids, can reach up to 100,000 ...

Biologists found a way to identify and study low-complexity regions of proteins. The technique allows them to analyze similarities and differences between LCRs from different species, and helps ...

Apple developed an alternative AI model to predict the 3D structure of proteins, and it shows promise. Here are the details.

A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein ...

In one test, researchers used inverse folding models to sample many possible amino acid sequences for a protein. They then calculated the appearance rate of each amino acid at each position. Mutations ...

A team of researchers based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (the United States) has tried to shed light on the inner workings of the language models that predict the structure and functio ...

Developed through a collaboration between the University of Texas at Austin and pharmaceutical company Sanofi, the tool could help researchers predict how efficiently different mRNA sequences will ...

Jacobs School researcher Thomas Grant has secured a $2.18 million grant to pioneer a protein-studying tool that could lead to ...

Enzymes are important tools, and a new technology combining microbiology and AI has exciting potential to advance their use in many applications ...
