To function correctly, cellular proteins depend not only on their complex tertiary and quaternary structures, but also on their proximity to and interactions with other molecules participating in the ...

University of Missouri researchers have released the world's largest collection of protein models with quality assessment—a groundbreaking new resource that could accelerate drug development for ...

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 ...

Programs built by Google’s artificial intelligence company DeepMind have beaten humans playing chess, Go, and some Atari computer games. Biologists and computer scientists say the company has now done ...

To understand cellular processes, scientists have to study proteins, which play critical roles in virtually every aspect of biology. Proteins are made up of amino acids, and while the sequence of a ...

Proteins often function in pairs or groups, concealing their internal connection points and making it difficult for scientists to study their individual units without altering their natural structure.

Last year, Alphabet’s DeepMind released an open source database of the 3D structures of hundreds of thousands of proteins, including all 20,000 known proteins in the human body. Now, this AlphaFold ...

In Huntington's disease, a faulty protein aggregates in brain cells and eventually kills them. Such protein aggregates could, in principle, be prevented with a heat shock protein. However, it is not ...

Artificial intelligence has surpassed the limits of scientific knowledge by predicting the shape of almost every known protein, a breakthrough that will significantly reduce the time required 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 — ...
