Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred ...

Nature has developed a unique structure as a scaffold for almost all nerve cells: the membrane-associated periodic skeleton ...

Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal ...

In the past several decades, significant progress has been made in controlling molecular chirality, as evidenced by the several Nobel Prizes in chemistry awarded in this area, particularly for ...

The NMR structure of the Numb PTB domain in complex ... is that not all PTB domain targets may be easily identified by amino acid sequence motifs. Understanding that PTB and other modular binding ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

These results are the starting point to qualitatively relate the two different responses with the amino acid structure: high solubility in the case of short-chain amino acids (glycine, alanine, valine ...

There is also a lot more complexity when working with 20 amino acids compared to four nucleotides, not to mention tertiary structures, folded domains, and so on. ClpX can handle synthetic proteins ...

Amino acids are the building blocks that form polypeptides and ultimately proteins. Consequently, they are fundamental components of our bodies and vital for physiological functions such as protein ...

Such multi-functionality is generally achieved by the dedicated groups of amino acid residues located at specific positions scattered across protein primary structure but brought in close proximity in ...
