With these 3D maps, they could "observe proteins, the molecular building blocks of life a million times smaller than a grain of rice, within the brain," said the release from Leeds University. "This ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, ...

Proteins are life's molecular workhorses, doing everything from turning sunlight into food to fighting viruses. They are ...

Cell division in bacteria, the process that allows a single bacterial cell to divide into two, is regulated by the FtsZ ...

These proteins can have too many conformations for researchers to keep track of, says Kejia Wu, a postdoctoral researcher ...

If you know the exact structure, it becomes a lot easier to tell where and how a molecule would attach to a given protein, as well as how that attachment might affect the protein's folds in response.

The results were published in the journal Open Biology in a paper titled " CryoEM structure and small-angle X-ray scattering analyses of porcine retinol-binding protein 3 ".

Object Details Description (Brief) Professor Jonathan Wittenberg used this model of sperm whale myoglobin structure as a teaching tool at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University ...

The prediction of protein structure is difficult for a few reasons. First, there is a huge search space — every possible 3D position for each atom in each amino acid.
