Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it joins ... of amino acids within a protein is considered the primary structure of the protein.

This article was originally published with the title “ The Three-Dimensional Structure of a Protein Molecule ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 205 No. 6 (December 1961), p. 96 doi:10.1038 ...

From growth hormones to cancer drugs, small molecules play a crucial role in our health. Monitoring them is essential to ...

“Not just the spatial structure of the protein but how it changes over time, and that seemed like a perfect match for sound as sound doesn’t even exist without time.” Usually, scientists visualize ...

These DZBB assemblies serve as a versatile foundation for molecular ... for synthesizing proteins in cells. This evolutionary ...

To develop a small-molecule drug, researchers spend years ... called structure-based drug design. The 3-D structure of many proteins remained unavailable, and many important proteins could not ...

The intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not attain a stable secondary or tertiary structure and rapidly change their conformation, making structure prediction particularly challenging.

Researchers say structure reveals many new ways to change PINK1, essentially switching it on, which will be "life-changing" for people with Parkinson’s disease.

The sequence of amino acids in the chain determines how the chain will fold up to make the protein, so different proteins have different three-dimensional shapes. The three-dimensional shape of a ...
