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 ...

Recent advances in computational biology have revolutionised the field of protein structure and function prediction. Traditionally, determining the three‐dimensional architecture of a protein from its ...

Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but necessary to explain cosmology. Astronomy, however, isn't the only field with ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of the chemical characteristics. Many ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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, ...
