Protein and RNA Folding

Protein and RNA folding is the process by which linear chains of amino acids and nucleotides attain their functional three-dimensional structures. The “folding problem” has historically posed significant challenges in molecular biology, as accurately predicting these stable forms has been complex and time-consuming, often requiring extensive experimental methods like cryo-EM or crystallography.

Copilot utilizes artificial intelligence to enhance protein folding by providing predictive modeling tools that analyze amino acid sequences and their potential 3D structures. This text-based web platform enables users to obtain rapid results through straightforward prompts, helping researchers understand how proteins fold into functional forms. Additionally, users can combine folding predictions with other tools for molecular visualization, protein function analysis, and molecular docking studies, contributing to advancements in biotechnology research.
