A complex protein knot with seven crossings (left) predicted by AlphaFold and a simplified representation (right). Image credit: Maarten Brems. The question of how the chemical composition of a protein, the amino acid sequence, determines its 3D structure has been one of the biggest challenges in biophysics for more than half a century. This knowledge […]
