Water-soluble peptides that adopt stable helical conformations are attractive motifs because of their importance in basic science and their broad utility in medicine and biotechnology. Incorporating ...

These simplified images from Wayne Anderson's lab show how the polypeptide backbone of a Bacillus anthracis protein folds and curls around itself like a ribbon. It is one of 5,617 proteins in the ...

Proteins carry out exceptionally diverse molecular functions—even though they are all built on an unvarying polyamide backbone. How much more chemical diversity might be unlocked by editing that ...
