Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) and cryopreservation techniques represent a dynamic interface between natural adaptation and modern biomedical technology. AFPs, which are widely distributed among ...

Using bright X-rays from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National ...

The ability to alter proteins to refine control over binding affinity and specificity can create tailored therapeutics with reduced side effects, highly sensitive diagnostic tools, efficient ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics. Many ...

Various approaches to such protein redesign have drawbacks. Traditional methods include time-consuming trial and error efforts, and many models in the emerging field ...
