One of the great biological mysteries of the human body is how hundreds of complex, origami-like proteins, many of which are ...

Each protein or peptide consists of a linear sequence of amino acids. The protein primary structure conventionally begins at the amino-terminal (N) end and continues until the carboxyl-terminal (C ...

Elongation, a crucial step in the translation process of protein synthesis, gets disrupted by amino acid sequences with an abundance of N-terminal aspartic and glutamic acid residues in eukaryotic ...

it remains to be investigated whether the other isozymes are involved in restoration of chlorophyll and free amino acid contents under high temperature conditions. There is a lack of an N-terminal ...

Amino acids are the building blocks of life and important signaling molecules. Despite their common structure, no universal mechanism for amino acid recognition by cellular receptors is currently ...

Because of the height of the amino acid side chains, and also because the protofibrils tilt away from the fibril axis, each protofibril monomer contacts three monomers in the opposing protofilament.

This revealed that the NRC4 N-terminal 29 amino acids are sufficient to induce hypersensitive cell death. This region is defined by the consensus MADAxVSFxVxKLxxLLxxEx (MADA motif) that is conserved ...
