Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

Protein folding is a critical process by which linear chains of amino acids adopt specific three‐dimensional conformations essential for biological function. In recent years, studies have increasingly ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are manufactured in protein factories known as ribosomes using their blueprint, or genetic information.

Demis Hassabis (CEO of Deep Mind) and John M. Jumper have useed artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. David Baker has learned how to master life’s building ...

Most of the activities that go on inside cells—the activities that keep us living, breathing, thinking animals—are handled by proteins. They allow cells to communicate with each other, run a cell’s ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic and IBM recently published findings in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation that could lay the groundwork for applying quantum computing methods to protein ...

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 ...

The strategies biopharmaceutical manufacturers currently use to limit protein misfolding are complex, time-consuming, and generate low yields with only limited scalability. Covalent organic frameworks ...

Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but ...

Protein folding helpers such as TRiC and prefoldin (PFD) are crucial for the correct folding of many essential proteins. In a Nature study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...
