Scientists have shown it is possible to determine the 3D structures of a gene by assessing the effects of lab-made genetic mutations on protein functions.

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have discovered a molecular mechanism directing the fate and function of cells during animal development. The findings could hold promise for ...

Scientists have developed a new method of determining gene function in a breakthrough that could have major implications for our understanding of the processes of life.

Much research into molecular protein function seeks to uncover how sequences of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, determine the features and functions of "functional sites." These ...

This most significant parametric function is not always easy to find, however, because it may not manifest itself in simple functions (such as pairwise contrasts between groups) or in "obvious" ...
