A machine-learning model from MIT researchers computationally breaks down how segments of amino acid chains determine a protein’s function, which could help researchers design and test new proteins ...

Amino acids are the building blocks that form polypeptides and ultimately proteins. Consequently, they are fundamental components of our bodies and vital for physiological functions such as protein ...

With a newly developed method that compares AI-generated protein sequences with naturally occurring ones, function- and structure-regulating amino acids can be determined much more precisely than ...

Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant human disorder caused by inactivating mutations to either the TSC1 or TSC2 tumour suppressor gene. Hamartin and tuberin, the TSC1 and TSC2 gene products, ...

The gut microbiota have a known role in modulating gut immune homeostasis. Largely, through the development and function of host immune cells, including T helper cells expressing interleukin-17A. It ...
