How did life originate? Ancient proteins may hold important clues. Every organism on Earth is made up of proteins. Although all organisms—even single-celled ones—have complex protein structures now, ...

Kirill Alexandrov Artificial intelligence–designed “smart” proteins can be programmed to turn on when they detect a certain ...

Proteins and peptides form the cornerstone of cellular function, serving not only as essential catalysts and structural components but also as mediators of signalling and regulation in health and ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand how RNA works. The method is a powerful strategy for identifying intricate ...

STOCKHOLM — The Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded Wednesday to David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper for their breakthrough work predicting and designing the structure of proteins, the ...

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 the chemical characteristics. Many ...

The genetic code has given rise to the enormous diversity of proteins we see in nature—and rearranging the order of codons that make up a protein’s sequence leads to an immense variety of structure ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia and BC Cancer have developed a new way to target proteins long considered ...

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that can more accurately predict how proteins interact ...
