A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only ...

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 ...

The database of 200 million protein-structure predictions now includes homodimers, adding new biological relevance.

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics.

Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

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, ...

Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this ...

AI protein function prediction uses machine learning models trained on sequence and structural data to infer protein roles at ...

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 ...

In a rare but serious complication of cancer, the body’s own immune system can start attacking the brain, causing rapid-onset memory loss and cognitive deficits. What triggers this sudden biological ...
