AlphaFold didn't accelerate biology by running faster experiments. It changed the engineering assumptions behind protein ...

On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

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.

Proteins need to fold into specific shapes to perform their functions in cells, but they occasionally misfold, which can ...

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 ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

A research team at Florida State University's Institute of Molecular Biophysics and Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry ...
