Doubly stapled α-helix consisting only of achiral amino acids. Its one-handed form can be isolated because the interconversion between the right- and left-handed forms is almost completely suppressed.
A new study Dec. 18 in Nature reports an AI-driven advance in biotechnology with implications for drug development, disease detection, and environmental monitoring. Scientists at the Institute for ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in eLife on deciphering the actin structure-dependent preferential cooperative binding of cofilin. The actin filament is a double-stranded helical structure ...
A modular strategy for the assembly of synthetic protein mimics is outlined. This approach is based on the ability of α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) to promote helical folding in peptides. The design of ...
Designing de novo proteins holds immense potential for achieving superior combinations of novel functions and mechanical properties, thereby advancing biological and engineering applications. However, ...
A protein’s amino acid sequence helps determine its structure. Thus, proteins with similar sequences would be expected to have similar structures. But sometimes seemingly minor sequence changes can ...
Polymers, the basis of all plastics, usually do not have an ordered structure, in contrast to biopolymers such as proteins. A team of researchers has now developed a polymer that can be differentiated ...
The cells in living organisms are constantly making proteins. Ribosomes, the RNA-protein complexes that make other proteins, ...
