The new open-source atlas, generated by an AI tool called ESMFold2, vastly increases the known protein universe ...

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 ...

As people around the world marveled in July at the most detailed pictures of the cosmos snapped by the James Webb Space Telescope, biologists got their first glimpses of a different set of images — ...

Efforts to unlock the mysteries of proteins, building blocks of life, have earned three scientists the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The prize goes to David Baker “for computational protein design,” ...

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 ...

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 ...

In biology, proteins don’t go it alone. They fold up in complexes and interact with each other to get stuff done. Those interactions create challenges for scientists working to predict protein ...

The prediction of protein structure with the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI–ML) is poised to transform how and when three-dimensional (3D) biostructure information is used in ...

Scientists from Scripps Research have uncovered new structures of transthyretin, a protein that moves important hormones like thyroxine through blood and spinal fluid. Misfolded versions of the ...
