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 ...

A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn 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 ...

This review provides an overview of traditional and modern methods for protein structure prediction and their characteristics and introduces the groundbreaking network features of the AlphaFold family ...

For structural biologists, the molecular mapping of proteins is critical to figuring out their structure and function. But doing so takes patience and persistence. X-ray crystallography involves ...

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have identified simple rules that explain how complex protein structures ...

Researchers recently published findings that could lay the groundwork for applying quantum computing methods to protein structure prediction. Researchers from Cleveland Clinic and IBM recently ...

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,” ...

Over the millennia, viruses have become excellent manipulators of biology. But there’s a lot that scientists don’t know about how viruses work, in part because they have relatively little insight into ...

Researchers at Linköping University show how two important cancer-related proteins can be prevented from collaborating with ...
