Encoded in the DNA, a protein may be represented as a thread of hundreds of individual molecules called amino acids, linked together. Depending on its particular amino acid combination, a protein folds in one way or another, resulting in a functional 3D shape. The shape makes the function, and with 20 different amino acids available, the possible combinations are countless.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-11-3d-protein-ai-boost-cancer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">3D protein structure predictions made by AI could boost cancer research and drug discovery<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a living being, proteins make up roughly everything: from the molecular machines running every cell&#8217;s metabolism, to the tip of your hair.
