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 ...

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,” ...

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 ...

This review provides an overview of traditional and modern methods for protein structure prediction and their characteristics and introduces the groundbreaking network features of the AlphaFold family ...

They build our bodies and orchestrate the molecular processes in cells that keep them healthy. They also present a wealth of targets for new medications. From everyday pain relievers to sophisticated ...

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, ...

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 ...

Proteins are essential macromolecules that play a crucial role in virtually all biological processes. They are the building blocks of life, performing a wide range of functions within organisms, from ...

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...
