Most of the activities that go on inside cells—the activities that keep us living, breathing, thinking animals—are handled by proteins. They allow cells to communicate with each other, run a cell’s ...

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

For most proteins, structure is function. The complex three-dimensional shapes that proteins adopt create folds and pockets that can accomplish the remarkably improbable: driving chemical reactions ...

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 ...

In the wee hours of an October morning, David Baker, a protein biologist at the University of Washington (UW), received the most-awaited phone call in a scientist’s career. Halfway around the world, ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

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 ...

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, ...
