Protein indirectly contributes to your daily energy levels. However, the body typically relies on carbohydrates as its ...

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 ...

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, ...

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,” ...

In the rapidly advancing field of computational biology, a newly peer-reviewed review explores the transformative role of deep learning techniques in revolutionizing protein structure prediction. The ...

With MassiveFold, scientists have unlocked AlphaFold's full potential, making high-confidence protein predictions faster and more accessible, fueling breakthroughs in biology and drug discovery. Brief ...

As people around the world marveled in July at the most detailed pictures of the cosmos snapped by the James Webb Space Telescope, biologists got their first glimpses of a different set of images — ...

And it’s giving the data away for free, which could spur new scientific discoveries. DeepMind says its AlphaFold tool has successfully predicted the structure of nearly all proteins known to science.
