Proteins are the workhorses of biology, performing essential functions such as catalysing biochemical reactions, signalling within and between cells, and providing structural support. Understanding a protein’s structure is crucial because its function is determined by its three-dimensional shape. However, experimentally determining protein structures is time-consuming and expensive. This is where protein structure prediction comes into […]
The human genome is the blueprint of life, containing over three billion DNA bases that determine everything from eye colour to disease risk.
