New research by scientists at the University of Toronto and the Structural Genomics Consortium has deepened our understanding ...

The most common method used to study protein structures is X-ray crystallography. With this method, solid crystals of purified protein are placed in an X-ray beam, and the pattern of deflected X ...

From these crystals, molecular structures will be obtained and new drugs can be developed. Proteins are important macromolecules without which our bodies would be unable to repair, regulate, or ...

Protein variants with beneficial properties ... is a known suppressor of missense mutations 12, and crystal structures suggest that the mutant threonine makes multiple hydrogen bonds with ...

To discover the protein's origins, the researchers pored over available data on protein crystal structures. Then they identified and characterized relevant proteins computationally. Although they ...

Label-free nanophotonic sensing enables ultrasensitive protein and EV detection, offering a noninvasive, real-time alternative to traditional diagnostic methods.

The algorithm was able to determine the atomic structure from nanometer-sized crystals of various shapes ... is a sister problem to the famous protein folding problem where the shape of a molecule ...
