New research in mice shows that mutations in key proteins disrupt the shutdown of one X chromosome in females, linking ...

A paper titled "Functional implications of unusual NOS and SONOS covalent linkages found in proteins," by Matthew D. Lloyd, ...

The authors created a useful collection of Rep protein variants with changes that alter the amino acid sequence, but these did not lead to clear improvements in how the virus worked. Instead, their ...

The mRNA platform market holds significant opportunities, driven by advancements in LNP delivery systems, codon optimization, and synthetic biology tools like CRISPR-Cas9. These innovations support ...

UC Santa Cruz researchers are studying the ways certain genetic elements hide and make copies of themselves, so they can ...

The DNA is basically a book of recipes. Each recipe tells the cells in our bodies how to make specific proteins by combining 20 ingredients, called amino acids, in different ways. Representative ...

A codon, a sequence of three nucleotides in DNA and RNA that codes for a specific amino acid, acts like an “instruction manual” for protein synthesis, telling the cell which of the 20 natural ...

"Our goal is to develop proteins with tailored functions ... But many amino acids have more than one possible codon; for instance, RNA reading the sequences UAU and UAC both correspond to the ...

Our AI model for predicting codons is publicly available. That we can better learn codon patterns in high-expression proteins, and in sequences related to housekeeping cellular processes, suggests ...

“Our goal is to develop proteins with tailored functions for applications ... But many amino acids have more than one possible codon; for instance, RNA reading the sequences UAU and UAC both ...
