Researchers have found a new way to reactivate fetal hemoglobin without the need for gene-editing therapy, according to a new ...

Hemoglobin and myoglobin are composed of two parts (protein and heme). The protein part in myoglobin is a monomer, a single-chain protein (made up of 7 alpha-helical pieces) with 153 amino acids.

In neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s, healthy brain cells are damaged by aberrant reactive oxygen species (ROS). A potential ...

Abstract: Secondary structure prediction of proteins has increasingly been a central research area in bioinformatics. In this paper, support vector machines (SVM) are discussed as a method for the ...

The tangled mass of tubing, disks and light bulbs unveiled before a packed meeting of the Royal Society of scientists in London looked for all the world like an outsize example of abstract sculpture.

Researchers have shown for the first time that hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells where it binds oxygen, is also present in the epidermis, our skin's outermost body tissue. The study ...
