The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers ...

Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

Tlusty's topological rate distortion approach to the genetic code is applied to the problem of protein symmetries and to the analysis of protein folding rates. Unlike the genetic case, numerous ...

the equipment is designed to help unravel the structure of protein molecules.

Scientists explored mRNA and protein public databases to unravel hidden meanings of the genetic code. Using a metric derived from mRNA codon composition, they found out how gene sequence choice can ...

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has uncovered new clues to why some therapeutic proteins are so difficult to manufacture. The work—led by Nathan Lewis, PhD, ...

Tlusty's topological arguments regarding the genetic code are applied to the classification of tertiary irregular protein symmetries. Unlike the genetic case, two protein folding codes are found, a ...

Today, thousands of databases with biological data are publicly available. They include data on gene and protein sequences and detailed measurements of different cellular parameters, such as the exact ...
