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 ...

Multicolored 3D rendering of a muscle fiber. It looks a bit like a bundle of yarn, with lots of short, aligned strands. A 3D rendering of the proteins in a muscle fiber, captured by cryo-electron ...

Proteins are important molecules—but they aren’t the only molecules in a cell, and they don’t operate alone. In a new preprint, the team behind the protein structure prediction software RoseTTAFold ...

Membrane proteins and membrane lipids are essential partners in various biological processes, and elucidating their structures in a natural membrane environment is crucial for enhancing our ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

The “ChatGPT moment” for biology proceeds to unfold as protein language models, or machine learning tools trained on large databases of protein sequences, work to decode the language of life with the ...
