In this important work, the authors present a new transformer-based neural network designed to isolate and quantify higher-order epistasis in protein sequences. They provide solid evidence that higher ...

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

A research team led by Prof. Wang Yanli from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the ...

Scientists analyze 4.3 billion dipeptides across species to trace genetic code evolution and early protein development.

Scientists have uncovered that mushrooms evolved the ability to make psilocybin not once but twice, using completely ...

Researchers found that magic mushrooms and fiber caps independently evolved different biochemical pathways to create ...

For decades, gene-editing science has been limited to making small, precise edits to human DNA, akin to correcting typos in ...

The amount of any given protein in a cell has to be controlled to keep its levels within a range required for healthy functions. This is especially important for proteins that are known to group ...

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 ...

Austrian team led by Friedrich Schiller University Jena and Leibniz-HKI has been able to biochemically demonstrate for the ...

Experts say that cat allergy driven by a key protein is only briefly eased by filters, diets, and bathing, whereas vaccines ...
