When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how scientists understand proteins—these are working molecules that drive nearly every process in the human body, from cell growth and immune defense to ...

Artificial intelligence has solved one of biology’s most stubborn mysteries: how proteins fold into their intricate three-dimensional shapes. But as the field shifts from prediction to application, a ...

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,” ...

University of Missouri researchers have released the world's largest collection of protein models with quality assessment—a ...

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 ...

It has long been thought that protein function and stability are highly sensitive to changes in the composition of the internal structures, or protein cores. However, a large-scale experiment probing ...

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, ...

Most mutations that cause disease by swapping one amino acid out for another do so by making the protein less stable, according to a major study of human protein variants that was published in Nature ...
