PASADENA, Calif.—Chemists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have managed, for the first time, to simulate the biological function of a channel called the Sec translocon, which allows ...

The design of new calcium channels, built bottom-up from scratch, was reported last week in Nature. "Biochemists have been studying ion channels for decades and debating about how they work for almost ...

AI protein function prediction is reshaping how laboratories approach protein annotation, hypothesis generation, and translational research. As sequencing technologies continue to outpace experimental ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...
