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 ...

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 ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical nucleic acid structures formed by guanine-rich DNA sequences and stabilized by Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds and monovalent cations. These structures are biologically ...
