Hopkins scientists uncover 'tags' that force proteins to cell surface

...of a protein, it seems unlikely to disrupt how the rest of the protein folds in a three-dimensional structure, but that's what most scientists think goes wrong if a protein doesn't go to the surface," says Li. "But now we know the problem might just be a faulty transportation signal." Given that proteins...

The energies of hundreds of thousands of possible shapes generated by the computer are computed, and the lowest energy shape is selected as the prediction. The prediction process happens in two steps, Bradley said. The first stage u...
