The Zα fold specifically binds to both Z-DNA and Z-RNA, left-handed nucleic acid structures that form under physiological conditions and are encoded by flipons. I trace the Zα fold back …
Although most globular proteins fold into a single stable structure, an increasing number have been shown to remodel their secondary and tertiary structures in response to cellular …

Numerous molecular machines are required to drive the central dogma of molecular biology. However, the means by which these numerous proteins emerged in the early evolutionary …
Metamorphic proteins switch reversibly between multiple distinct, stable structures, often with different functions. It was previously hypothesized that metamorphic proteins arose as …
