In fact, each gene in cellular DNA contains the code for a unique protein structure. Not only are these proteins assembled with different amino acid sequences, but they also are held together by ...

Because a protein’s structure helps determine its biological function, the new structures, along with those available from cryo-EM, could revolutionize biology and drug discovery. To be useful ...

The sequence of amino acids in the chain determines how the chain will fold up to make the protein, so different proteins have different three-dimensional shapes. The three-dimensional shape of a ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

In the rapidly advancing field of computational biology, a review explores the transformative role of deep learning ...

AlphaFold 3 can predict protein structures and interactions, and now researchers around the world can use it freely.

In most people, the lung-infecting pathogens known as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) ...

The pioneering AI model AlphaFold can predict the structure and interactions of molecules with unprecedented accuracy.

The central dogma of biology defines the flow of genetic information: It describes how proteins are made from mRNA templates, ...

Researchers have found an ancient protein fold that might explain how life’s basic building blocks became the complex systems ...
