Madani and the rest of the team behind ProGen trained the model on a data set of over 280 million protein sequences and associated metadata — the largest publicly available.

Amino acid sequences are key to the properties of silks Date: June 9, 2016 Source: RIKEN Summary: A new research study aimed to shed light on the determinants of the unique properties of silkworm ...

Overall, the authors conclude that repetitive amino acid sequences of different silk types play a decisive role in determining their unique physical properties. According to Keiji Numata, leader of ...

In laboratory tests, some of these enzymes worked as well as those found in nature, even when their artificially generated amino acid sequences diverged significantly from any known natural protein.

During translation, transfer RNA (tRNA) and the cell's ribosome work together to create a protein by building a series of amino acid sequences specified by the nucleotides in the mRNA.
