Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers ...

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,” ...

Researchers recently published findings that could lay the groundwork for applying quantum computing methods to protein structure prediction. Researchers from Cleveland Clinic and IBM recently ...

When a protein folds, its string of amino acids wiggles and jiggles through countless conformations before it forms a fully folded, functional protein. This rapid and complex process is hard to ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

Scientists organize millions of proteins by shape, as predicted by AI, revealing 700,000 new families and some shapes unique ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving ...

Professor Jonathan Wittenberg used this model of sperm whale myoglobin structure as a teaching tool at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University in the Bronx. It was used beginning ...

In 2020, news headlines repeated John Moult’s words at the end of a stunning competition: Artificial intelligence had “solved” a long-standing grand challenge in biology, protein structure prediction.
