Many proteins involve flexible regions, usually called loops, which play key functional roles for antibody-antigen recognition or modulate enzyme activity, for instance. It is in this context that the researchers of RIS team at LAAS-CNRS have modeled flexible loops of proteins using robotics and artificial intelligence algorithms.
Researchers at LAAS-CNRS and TBI have succeeded in characterizing, using an atomic force microscope (AFM), the role of protein filaments (pili) on the cell surface during the interaction between two bacteria. These results are published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
