On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

Proteins are the molecular workhorses of cells. To understand their functions, scientists soon realized that they had to figure out proteins’ shapes. But solving a protein structure is a challenging ...

A comprehensive review evaluates how modern artificial intelligence architectures model understudied proteins and molecular ...

University of Missouri researchers have released the world's largest collection of protein models with quality assessment—a groundbreaking new resource that could accelerate drug development for ...

Researchers have designed artificial protein structures that mimic and build upon viral architecture, potentially opening new avenues for delivering therapeutic genes and vaccines. The breakthrough ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

In the wee hours of an October morning, David Baker, a protein biologist at the University of Washington (UW), received the most-awaited phone call in a scientist’s career. Halfway around the world, ...

The tiny protein known as transthyretin can cause big problems in the body when it misfolds after secretion. While healthy transthyretin moves hormones through blood and spinal fluid, misfolded ...

A study from Cornell researchers could enable a quantum leap forward in identifying and deciphering cancer-driving genetic mutations, the first step in developing effective therapeutics. Cells become ...
