The amino acid sequence of a protein encodes its three-dimensional structure and determines its biological function. Although researchers can readily generate proteins with altered amino acid ...

Imaging molecules in their natural environment allows researchers to understand how structure determines function. “Our goal is to put nanoscale quantum sensors into cells to perform magnetic ...

The three-dimensional shape of a protein determines its function. This is because proteins form attachments and interact with many other molecules and structures inside organisms. The shape of a ...

The sequence of amino acids in a protein, known as its primary structure, determines its unique three-dimensional shape and function. Proteins can further fold and assemble into complex structures, ...
