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

Leveraging AI and quantum calculations, scientists developed a new tool that yielded higher-quality structural information and solved notoriously elusive proteins.

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 ...

Two parallel experiments in protein self-assembly produced strikingly different results, demonstrating that protein designers ...

Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational ...

The AI tool AlphaFold has been improved so that it can now predict the shape of very large and complex protein structures. Researchers have also succeeded in integrating experimental data into the ...

A new citizen-science project is investigating a possible universal structural pattern in protein 3D architecture; The pattern involves amino acids clustering by chemical type int ...

A new artificial intelligence model can predict how different proteins may bind to DNA. A new artificial intelligence model developed by USC researchers and published in Nature Methods can predict how ...
