Chung’s group captured the transition period directly by improving the time resolution of a method called single-molecule ...

A team of US researchers has gained new insights into how large protein molecules consistently fold themselves into useful ...

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.

Viruses are tricky to keep up with. They evolve quickly and regularly develop new proteins that help them infect their hosts. These rapid shifts mean that researchers are still trying to understand a ...

Viruses are invading pathogens that infect host cells and rapidly replicate throughout the body. They carry a small piece of genetic material such as DNA or RNA surrounded by a capsid that needs a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Although the Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry are awarded separately, there is a fascinating connection between the winning ...

Biotech advances from UT’s new Deep Proteins group are changing the game with help from artificial intelligence. Researchers study the three dimensional structures of molecules on a wall-sized video ...

We often think of proteins as immutable 3D sculptures. That’s not quite right. Many proteins are transformers that twist and change their shapes depending on biological needs. One configuration may ...

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

Scientists in Jennifer Doudna’s lab at Gladstone Institutes and the Innovative Genomics Institute provide novel insights into nearly 70,000 lesser-known viral proteins that could eventually help in ...
