Opening a bottle of peanut butter to find it runny is never fun. Luckily, there's an unexpected hack that uses science to ...

Fibrous proteins have their long, spiral chains folded to form long, thin shapes. They are strong and are generally insoluble in water. Globular proteins are molecules involved in the regulation ...

The researchers, led by Corey O'Hern, developed computational models for all globular proteins in the Protein Data Bank, an online database, and measured their interior core regions to determine ...

"RibbonFold outperforms other AI-based prediction tools like AlphaFold, which were trained only to predict correctly folded globular protein structures." RibbonFold builds on recent advances in AI ...

That structure causes the PLP to fold in on itself in an aqueous solution, mimicking a globular protein. According to Gianneschi, this property confers resistance to proteolytic degradation.
