Proteins are important molecules—but they aren’t the only molecules in a cell, and they don’t operate alone. In a new preprint, the team behind the protein structure prediction software RoseTTAFold ...

Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but ...

A new machine-learning system can generate protein designs with certain structural features, and which do not exist in nature. These proteins could be utilized to make materials that have similar ...

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,” ...

Structural biologists can now solve protein structures that have been puzzles for years. This week, Minkyung Baek at the University of Washington and coworkers report results from their neural network ...

National Center for Biomedical Information Links to Medline, Endtrez, BLAST and much more. PubMed PubMed provides a keyword search engine for the biomedical literature. Abstracts are often available.

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, ...

Maintaining cellular order is a major logistical challenge: Individual mammalian cells contain billions of protein molecules, ...

Researchers have succeeded in ultra-fast freezing proteins after a precisely defined period of time. They were able to follow structural changes on the microsecond time scale and with sub-nanometer ...
