Although proteins are composed out of only a small number of distinct amino acids, this deceptive simplicity quickly vanishes when considering the many possible sequences across a protein, not to ...

Most of the activities that go on inside cells—the activities that keep us living, breathing, thinking animals—are handled by proteins. They allow cells to communicate with each other, run a cell’s ...

Proteins, the natural molecules that carry out key cellular functions within the body, are the building blocks of all diseases. Characterizing proteins can reveal the mechanisms of a disease, ...

Many of the most promising medicines under development are proteins, often antibodies, to help patients fight disease. These proteins must be purified as part of the manufacturing process — a task ...

With the advent of AI-powered protein design tools, protein-based therapeutics may no longer be constrained by the limits imposed by natural selection. Protein-based therapeutics have been ...

The ability to alter protein binding can create tailored therapeutics with reduced side effects, sensitive diagnostic tools, targeted drug delivery and sustainable bioremediation. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – ...

This is the third in a three-part series from Medscape on the impact of AI on drug discovery and development. Part 1 is about AI's role in designing speedier, more effective clinical trials. Part 2 is ...

Researchers have been studying tens of thousands of proteins and even more variations without a yardstick to compare their results.

A team of engineers has uncovered the role of surface diffusion in protein transport, which could aid biopharmaceutical processing. This work will lead to the creation of new ways to reduce waste ...
