Proteins are high-performance molecular machines that carry out nearly every biochemical function inside living cells. To ...

An international team of researchers, including those at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science ...

A new 3D structure of a cancer-linked protein bound to its cellular partner reveals details of how the protein binds to ...

Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

For decades, scientists have understood proteins primarily through two defining features: their amino acid sequence and their ...

An AI system trained on more than 20,000 protein structures from pharmaceutical companies outperforms AlphaFold-like models ...

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 ...

In a new study, Apple researchers detail SimpleDesign, a streamlined AI model that can jointly generate protein sequences and structures.

When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...

A new study led by Penn State scientists revealed that proteins containing a certain type of structure are more likely to misfold, yet nearly half still manage to evade the cellular maintenance crew ...

In a new move, researchers have shown that protein design software can incorporate motion into its outputs. The resulting protein gives a wave with one arm as it binds and releases a calcium ion ...
