Medicine & TechnologyA pair of researchers from Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) has developed an efficient neural network model trained to find protein-peptide binding sites, which could significantly advance peptide-based drug discovery.
Scientists have been using AlphaFold artificial intelligence (AI) system to accelerate scientific projects that aim to develop new drugs for diseases and enzymes that can break down plastics. It offers a large dataset that unlocks advances in medicine.
Biting into an ice cream often gives us an 'awful jolt of pain,' and researchers have just found out the root of such pain by identifying 'odontoblasts.'
Rotavirus affects hundreds of thousands of young children all over the world despite available vaccines. A new study reveals that combining two protein groups in the immune system may cure and prevent rotavirus.
The results of the study may also be useful to the field of synthetic chemistry, as amide bond formation is essential for many commercially critical synthetic materials, bioactive compounds, and pharmaceuticals
The technique indeed opens the door to dealing with microcrystals that have been previously inaccessible such as difficult-to-crystallize cell-surface receptors and other membrane proteins, flexible proteins, and many complex human proteins
Extracting proteins is possible now with the help of DNA that can encode majority of functions that keep living cells alive from even 80-million-old dinosaur bones.
A new way to measure the proteins that are responsible for a tumor can explore the most prominent treatments and can provide the fittest answer to treating cancer also.
While working on the first insectary to grow human malaria parasites, researchers observed certain proteins that facilitate malaria parasites to 'walk through cell walls'
While gastronomists and foodies alike have searched for new methods of altering the chemical composition of foods, chemists at UC Irvine and the University of Western Australia have found a way to undo some of the changes. In fact, after being tasked with finding new methods for reducing the costs of pharmaceutical development, the researchers have found a way to deconstruct the problem and solved the puzzle of unboiling an egg.
Did you ever wish you could unboil those eggs you just finished boiling, just so that you could use them in some other culinary masterpiece? Well, maybe someday you can thanks to a team of scientists at the University of California.
