...protein.” The shape into which a protein folds is determined by the sequence of amino acids that constructs it. The human body has 20 amino acids that can be arranged in any way by the polar forces of water, an abundant compound in cells. Shakhnovich??s model can predict how a certain string of amino acids will fold into a three-dimensional shape with unprecedented accuracy. The team conducted 4,000 simulations that proved to be consistent with experimental results. The biological function of a protein is then decided by the resulting structure. Through...
