WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Proteins are often called the working molecules of the human body. A typical body has more than 20,000 different types of proteins, each of which are involved in many functions ...

Proteins are important molecules—but they aren’t the only molecules in a cell, and they don’t operate alone. In a new preprint, the team behind the protein structure prediction software RoseTTAFold ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

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, ...

Machine learning (ML) is transforming protein structure prediction. Algorithms can predict 3D structures from amino acid sequences, surpassing slower, more expensive traditional methods. ML-based ...

The “ChatGPT moment” for biology proceeds to unfold as protein language models, or machine learning tools trained on large databases of protein sequences, work to decode the language of life with the ...

David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for their work on protein structure. Atila Altuntas / Anadolu via Getty Images On Wednesday morning, ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...

For those outside the chemistry cognoscenti, the announcement might have seemed little more than researchers patting each other on the back. But the question of protein folding had plagued scientists ...

MIT chemists showed they can use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to decipher the structure of the fuzzy coat that surrounds Tau proteins. The findings may aid efforts to develop drugs that interfere ...
