MOTIVATION: Proteins fold into complex structures that are crucial for their biological functions. Experimental determination of protein structures is costly and therefore limited to a small fraction of all known proteins. Hence, different…
The Gene or DNA sequence in every cell does not control genetic properties on its own; Rather, this is done through translation of DNA into protein and subsequent formation of a certain 3D structure. The biological function of a protein is…
Proteins and other macromolecules exist not in a single state but as dynamic ensembles of interconverting conformations, which are essential for catalysis, allosteric regulation, and molecular recognition. While AI-based structure…
Proteins are essential for life, and their structure determines their function. The protein secondary structure is formed by the folding of the protein primary structure, and the protein tertiary structure is formed by the bending and…
Protein structures and functions are determined by a contiguous arrangement of amino acid sequences. Designing novel protein sequences and structures with desired geometry and functions is a complex task with large state spaces. Here we…
How proteins fold remains a central unsolved problem in biology. While the idea of a folding code embedded in the amino acid sequence was introduced more than 6 decades ago, this code remains undefined. While we now have powerful predictive…
