Protein sequencing is used to identify the amino acid sequence and its conformation. The identification of the structure and function of proteins is important to understand cellular processes. There ...
The three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary relationships in the tree of life, according to a study in Nature Communications. It is the first time ...
For the first time, researchers used data from protein shapes and combined it with data from genomic sequences to improve the reliability of evolutionary trees—which they describe as a critical ...
The research also brings scientists closer to achieving single-molecule protein sequencing, a long-sought goal in biology. While DNA sequencing reveals genetic instructions, protein sequencing ...
