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 ...

The protein 'MIPS' changes its internal structure when it becomes active. Its disordered active centre becomes a defined structure with special functions. The protein plays a key role in the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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,” ...

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

Researchers found that paired pathogenic variants can restore protein function rather than make it worse. This phenomenon ...

For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...
