The chemistry of amino acid side chains is critical to protein structure because ... side chains can form ionic bonds, and polar amino acids are capable of forming hydrogen bonds.

EPFL researchers have developed a computational method to explicitly consider the impact of water while designing membrane receptors with enhanced stability and signaling, paving the way for novel ...

These include wobble base pairs, such as G-U and I-A (inosine-adenine), which have a slightly different geometry and hydrogen bonding pattern. Non-Watson-Crick base pairs can play important roles in ...

The structure of the β-sheets is strengthened by hydrogen bonds, which remain stable throughout the functional life of the ...

Protein folding is the process ... stabilized by hydrogen bonding and disulphide bridges, and then tertiary structure. During the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD), α-synuclein pathology ...

Uracil forms hydrogen bonds with adenine in RNA, contributing to the molecule's structure and function ... the building blocks of proteins. For example, the codon UUU codes for the amino acid ...

Free RNA nucleotides form hydrogen bonds with ... the correct shape and becomes a protein. Peptide bonds form between the adjacent amino acids to finalise the structure.
