The 3D structure of proteins is referred to as its “tertiary structure”. The process of folding proteins into their tertiary structures is spontaneous and involves bonds and intermolecular ...

Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the ...

Anfinsen, based on his studies of the ribonuclease enzyme, proposed that all the information needed to determine the tertiary structure of a protein is encoded in its ... and the ability to image and ...

Proteins have four levels of structure: primary (amino acid sequence), secondary (local folding patterns like alpha helices and beta sheets), tertiary (overall 3D shape), and quaternary (assembly of ...

A team of researchers has revealed the structure of a protein complex which is an important regulator of cellular degradation processes. Proteins are indispensable components in living organisms.

In the following decades, researchers painstakingly discovered the 3D structure of additional proteins but have still only described roughly one-third of all 20,000 known human proteins.

Osamu Nureki's group works on identifying the structure and function of the proteins involved in genome editing. In a recent study by the team, they discovered the 3D structure of a protein called ...
