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 ...

Proteins are the molecular workhorses of cells. To understand their functions, scientists soon realized that they had to figure out proteins’ shapes. But solving a protein structure is a challenging ...

For decades, scientists have largely relied on painstaking trial and error to coax proteins into crystalline forms.

University of Missouri researchers have released the world's largest collection of protein models with quality assessment—a groundbreaking new resource that could accelerate drug development for ...

AlphaFold protein structure prediction turned a five-decade-old open problem in structural biology into a routine computational task, placing a predicted three-dimensional model for nearly every ...

The tiny protein known as transthyretin can cause big problems in the body when it misfolds after secretion. While healthy transthyretin moves hormones through blood and spinal fluid, misfolded ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have found that today's leading artificial intelligence tools for ...
