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 ...

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 ...

At a biennial challenge where participants must blindly predict the structure of 100 proteins based on their amino acid sequences, a system developed by DeepMind captured researchers’ attention when ...

A novel structure of a so-called 'neurotransmitter: sodium symporter' has been mapped. The discovery adds to the researchers' knowledge of neurotransmitters in the brain and may lead to better drugs ...

For most proteins, structure is function. The complex three-dimensional shapes that proteins adopt create folds and pockets that can accomplish the remarkably improbable: driving chemical reactions ...

The function of a protein is usually determined by the ligands that it binds to. The 3D structure of the binding groove or pocket can be compared to other proteins and similar residues used to make ...

As people around the world marveled in July at the most detailed pictures of the cosmos snapped by the James Webb Space Telescope, biologists got their first glimpses of a different set of images — ...

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