Structural disorder is vital for proteins' function in diverse biological processes. It is therefore highly desirable to be able to predict the degree of order and disorder from amino acid sequence.

We illustrate data analytic concerns that arise in the context of relating genotype, as represented by amino acid sequence, to phenotypes (outcomes). The present application examines whether peptides ...

Overview of the process of obtaining genomic diversity of influenza virus in a population replicated from a single particle. (a) MDCK cells were infected with influenza vi ...

Living organisms synthesize a staggering variety of proteins by combining 20 amino acids into chains of any length and order. In the past, to expand protein diversity beyond the scope of these 20 ...

The nucleotide sequences coding for murine complement component C3 have been determined from a cloned genomic DNA fragment and several overlapping cloned complementary DNA fragments. The amino acid ...

A scientist has used a form of artificial intelligence known as deep learning to predict the 3D structure of effectively any protein based on its amino acid sequence. This new approach for ...

Each protein or peptide consists of a linear sequence of amino acids. The protein primary structure conventionally begins at the amino-terminal (N) end and continues until the carboxyl-terminal (C) ...

The universal genetic code is made up of several codons or triplet bases. The standard code has evolved over time to minimize coding errors. There are a total of 64 codons in the genetic code arising ...

After it is used and discarded, polylactic acid could be used as a feedstock for making the amino acid alanine. Credit: Shutterstock One of the simpler amino acids, alanine is widely used across the ...
