'Inheritance through homology' is the most common and generally more accessible approach to function prediction, but orthology should be established where possible to improve confidence in predictions ...

DNA three-dimensional structure is determined by a series of spatial rules based on particular protein sequences and their order. This was the finding of a study recently published in Genome Biology ...

Peptoids, or n-substitued glycines, are complex and diverse oligomeric structures which have been explored for a number of biomimetic applications including drug delivery, surfactants, and catalysts.
