A research team has uncovered the molecular mechanism behind the remarkable underwater adhesion of hairy mussels. Their findings reveal an oxidation-independent adhesion process driven by interactions ...

You can create a release to package software, along with release notes and links to binary files, for other people to use. Learn more about releases in our docs.

Recent analysis of amino acid prevalence goes back to the theoretical common ancestors of life.

Most mutations which cause disease by swapping one amino acid out for another do so by making the protein less stable, ...

This library provides a convenient interface for protein domain segmentation using the powerful tools Merizo and Chainsaw. The library abstracts the complexity of using these tools, allowing users to ...

Their unique outer membrane restricts antibiotic access. While diffusion porins are well-studied, the role of BON domain-containing proteins (BDCPs) in resistance remains unexplored. We analyze ...

The catalogue includes more than half a million mutations across 522 human protein domains, the bits of a protein which determine its function. It is the largest catalogue of human protein domain ...

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say.

Understanding bacterial growth mechanisms can potentially help uncover novel drug targets that are crucial for maintaining cellular viability, particularly for bacterial pathogens. In this important ...
