News Medical: Adaptations found in RNA secondary structure in genes of two proteins of SARS-CoV-2
Modeling indicates that secondary structures of RNA in the genes encoding the Nsp4 and Nsp16 proteins of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are different from other ...
Adaptations found in RNA secondary structure in genes of two proteins of SARS-CoV-2
A protein’s activity arises from its structure. In bioprocessing, a protein’s secondary structure—twists like an alpha-helix or folds like a beta-pleated sheet—plays a fundamental role in the ...
COVID-19 vaccines lower the risk of getting sick, seriously ill or dying from the disease. But how do the different types of COVID-19 vaccines work? Each COVID-19 vaccine causes the immune system to create proteins called antibodies. These proteins fight infection with the COVID-19 virus. COVID-19 vaccines use a harmless version of a spikelike structure called an S protein on the surface of ...
MIT Technology Review: DeepMind has predicted the structure of almost every protein known to science
And it’s giving the data away for free, which could spur new scientific discoveries. DeepMind says its AlphaFold tool has successfully predicted the structure of nearly all proteins known to science.

Diets high in protein aren’t known to cause medical problems in healthy people. But there are a wide range of these types of diets. One extreme example is the carnivore diet which cuts out almost all carbohydrates in favor of animal-based foods. But it is possible to have a high-protein diet that includes all the food groups.
