Inspired by origami, researchers have found a way to remotely control the order in which a two-dimensional (2-D) sheet folds itself into a three-dimensional (3-D) structure. The folds are controlled ...

In living cells, the genetic information in DNA is transcribed to RNA which is then translated to produce a peptide chain of defined sequence 1. In these transcription–translation processes, elaborate ...

Surface functionalization via micro/nano structuring is not only a thriving research area inspired by bionics but also of great importance for various practical applications. The key to achieving ...

Newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) programs accurately predicted the role of DNA's regulatory elements and three-dimensional (3D) structure based solely on its raw sequence, according to ...

Pectate lyases are plant virulence factors that degrade the pectate component of the plant cell wall. The enzymes share considerable sequence homology with plant pollen and style proteins, suggesting ...

The structure of a protein is crucial in determining its functionality and is much more conserved than sequence during evolution. A key task in structural biology is to compare protein structures to ...
