Knot theory sounds simple… until you realize it hides some of the most complex math ever discovered. In this video, we dive into the world of mathematical knots objects that follow strict rules and ...

An MIT team has discovered the most complicated knot ever seen in a protein, and they believe it may be linked to the protein's function as a rescue agent for proteins marked for destruction. An MIT ...

Theoretical physicists put Google's artificial intelligence AlphaFold to the test and find the most complex protein knots so far. Theoretical physicists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have put ...

Researchers have been making impressive progress lately in efforts to untangle the mysteries of knotted proteins. Three independent surveys have identified the same enzyme as having the most complex ...

Aug. 1 (UPI) --To better understand the way light energy flows through space, scientists are tying light beams in knots. Though a laser beam may appear as a single stream of focused light, it's ...

The “compound” umbilical-cord knot reported by Camann and Marquardt (July 10 issue) 1 is topologically two distinct knots that were probably “tied” at separate times. First, an overhand knot probably ...

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 ...
